I'm primarily considering dried pods and powder, nothing fancy. Currently I only have a small garden so I'm only expecting 40-50lbs of dried peppers this year but my wife and I have access to five +/- more acres should we decide to expand. I've emailed the local farmers markets to get information concerning vending fresh peppers, pods, and powders there but there's a limited number of people locally that want to eat superhots so I'm more interested in online sales. I can't find crap on my county website regarding what's involved with starting a (very) small pepper business and my google fu is failing me.
I assume step one is get a business license but that's the easy part. My wife is a full time graphic designer part time web developer so labeling and website are also easy to take care of. What's next? I know we could just start trying to sell stuff online but I don't want to be an ebayer and I want to do things legally. How big of a pita is this going to be?
