I am a Farmer.  Can I sell my flowers?

1.) Collective application

Applications are now open for 2025!  Tell us a bit more about your farming operation, such as your experience, your crops, and your volume estimates.  All are welcome to apply.  Please note that spots for new growers are limited.

2.) NYS Sales tax authority

In order to legally sell flowers in New York State, you must hold a valid certificate of sales tax authority.  A sales tax ID is free and allows you to legally sell taxable goods.  (This is not the same as an EIN, your LLC status, etc.)
