YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
Growers are responsible for their listings
GrowHive's Grower Rules and Safety guidance helps growers understand the requirements that may apply to them. Each grower remains responsible for making sure they have permission to sell their produce and meet any legal, safety, registration or certification requirements that apply to them.
NOT SURE WHICH GUIDE YOU NEED?
Start with the guide that best describes you
You may need more than one guide. For example, an allotment grower who sells regularly may need to read both the Allotment Growers and Selling Regularly guides.
