Farmers may sell fresh, unprocessed, unchopped herbs without a license.

The Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) and the MDH have published guidance for producing and selling value-added foods, including herb drying in the state, Processing and Selling Value Added Food Products in Maryland.

Processing dried products,such as herbs, requires an On-Farm Home Processing License issued by MDH. Chopping, drying or otherwise processing herbs requires an On-Farm Home Processing License issued by MDH when sales are under $40,000/year. This carries an annual current $30 cost and allows interstate sales.

If sales are more than $40,000 per year or the processor is not a farmer, then a Processing License from MDH ($150 annually) must be obtained.
