We had our little town fair this weekend "farm days" it's called.
Our 4h club was there with our animals, and we were selling some homemade pies to raise a little money.
... that is, until the friendly neighborhood Department of Health inspector came strolling by.
They told us we can't sell pies without a permit, and we can only get a permit if the pies are baked in a commercial, inspected kitchen...
They decided to "let it slide" this one time, but we can't do it again.
There's a lot going on these days that makes me sad for our country. A lot of big issues.
This isn't a big issue, but I have to say, THIS really hit me more than a lot of those bigger issues.
Our government won't let our kids sell apple pies in the middle of new england at a fall fair.
I guess it makes the world a safer place... I guess... But it just feels so wrong. It's depressing!
