I'm pretty sure growing your own food is illegal.
The government only allows people to grow a certain amount of food. I'd bet 6K pounds exceeds that.
They could get arrested.

Edit, unless they are actual farmers.

Been on my garden grind for years. Saves you so much money. Being that produce is probably the most expensive item
What's in your garden?
I heard a good place to start is in growing your own herbs. Supposedly they tend to keep longer than say...some vegetables.

yea with the rising prices of fruits and veggies, black folks need to get back on their gardening grind. cant speak for yall but it seemed like our grandparents era were all growing their food. when i think back to when i was like 10 yrs old, i vividly remember all my neighbors having greens, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, etc growing in their back yard. it seems like those skills never translated to the younger generation.

Why would it be illegal? Also, since they sell their stuff, I'm sure they've taken care of that.

I guess it's illegal to sell.
And there may be tricky laws about where you can grow food on your property.

But I guess I read some conflicting information
