Has anyone sold plants at their local farmers market?

McGregor, IA(Zone 4b)

I am thinking this might be a good way to share extra plants, iris rhizomes, etc. Unless there are licenses, inspections, other legal things that are necessary?

Lewisville, MN(Zone 4a)

We have 5 people selling plants at our market. In Minnesota the only time you need a license is for woody plants. The big nurseries pushed this though the legislature to keep the little guys out. Claimed some disease prevention!
We sell bedding plants & hanging baskets & porch pots.
Some Hudderites sell large baskets & pots.
Another guy sells about same as us.
A lady sells seed started perennials & plants she divides off her garden perennials.
A man sells prairie flower plants. Anything that was native at one time.
This is a good mix & we all do rather well with sales.
