We went to the state health dept for a permit to process fish. We read
the restaurant-level rules, and met them with a 12' X 12'screened in
corner of an open barn, a concrete slab with a drain to the septic leach
field, a couple of sinks we scrounged second-hand, a small hot water
tank, and a few sheets of the cheapest Masonite. We've since expanded
but also passed the Dept of Ag inspection for honey with a similar
set-up. It is great to do your honey in a room you can pre-heat, wash
down, and keep out of the kitchen. We make our set-up available to
anyone in the 5-county beekeepers association, with coordination
assistance from the Extension Service. Not having read the bill, I
expect I think a sliding scale fee would be more appropriate than a flat
or minimum $1000.
