Those who sell produce and other items by weights must have their scales certified each year.
The North Carolina Department of Agriculture will be certifying weigh scales on Wednesday, May 4 at the Salisbury Farmers Market from 8:30-10:30 a.m.
Scales used for selling produce and other goods at markets need to be NTEP approved to be legal for use in North Carolina. This is to comply with laws dictated by the N.C. Department of Agriculture.
Contact Richard Sigmond with NCDA at 919-218-3871 should you have any questions concerning your scales or the certification process.
