Does a farm need to register if it grows its own produce, harvests it, wraps it, and places it into cartons for the sole purpose of transporting the food off the farm?
No. The “farm” definition provides for farms to pack food (21 CFR 1.227 at (1)(i)). Wrapping
produce and placing it into cartons for transporting the food off the farm is packing and is within
the “farm” definition.
