call me lame...

but i had an idea of selling my goodies at a local market (eg: parnell markets, aotea square markets, etc) so i can earn a wee bit more pocket money to make life easier (not that i'm short of money or broke at the moment, but it sure is nice to have that extra moolah, no?)

so while toying around with that idea, i google-d the requirements to sell food at a local market and it put me off with the whole "contact your local council for..." or "contact your local authority etcetcetc...". all i know is, i need to register the premise where i will be producing the food, ie: my kitchen, and pass all the requirements, then register the premise where i will be selling the food product, ie: at the market or somewhere else, and also register my vehicle and pass certain requirements, obviously things like cleanliness and etc as we're dealing with food.

that's pretty much all i know - i dont know what goes on behind the scenes. is anyone familiar with how it works, how much it'll cost and what other requiremends do i need? help out, pretty please?

btw, it's just a thought at the moment. i have been thinking about selling some cakes/ cupcakes on trademe, but delivering it would be such a hassle as i dont think i trust courier guys dealing with food :P
