Thinking about selling CBD-infused treats alongside traditional foods?

Florida allows this combination under food establishment rules.

CBD products, including oils or gummies, are treated like food by Florida’s Department of Agriculture Consumer Protection Services (FDACPS).

But selling CBD comes with important steps.

You must apply for a H**p Food Establishment Permit, follow sanitation and construction rules, and comply with inspection requirements.

Even if you already sell food like hot dogs, adding CBD products brings new compliance needs.

CBD products must be properly labeled and sourced from FDACPS-approved manufacturers.

At Groves Law, we work with Florida food vendors and CBD sellers to navigate these requirements confidently.

Florida’s new craft distillery rules will soon require more local sourcing.

Starting July 2026, craft distillers must source at least 60% of their product from Florida and include at least one local agricultural product.

But what counts as an agricultural product?

Definitions vary, and supply chains may face challenges. Florida’s distilleries, farmers, and agribusinesses must plan now to build the right partnerships and avoid supply gaps later.

At Groves Law, we guide Florida producers through licensing, sourcing, and code compliance so you can grow with confidence.

Connecting with local farmers is the key to meeting these new requirements on time.

Agricultural law shapes every part of farming operations, from land use to worker protections.

It covers land zoning, farming wages, environmental safeguards, food safety, and government subsidy programs.

These laws help farmers understand what is allowed and how to stay compliant.

Labor laws, zoning rules, and food safety requirements all work together to create a stable farming environment.

Following these laws can strengthen your farm's future and help guard your operation against unexpected setbacks.

Farmers who are aware of these rules can better plan their agribusiness systems and address risks early.

At Groves Law, we guide farmers and agribusiness owners through the rules that apply to their farms.

A farm lease should always state who will manage the maintenance of the land.

Without clear terms, conflicts can arise about who is responsible for repairs, irrigation, or pest management.

Some leases leave this unclear, which can lead to costly problems later.

Maintenance details may cover land upkeep, equipment care, and improvements like irrigation or fencing.

When maintenance duties are fully written into the lease, both the landowner and the farmer know exactly what is expected.

At Groves Law, we guide farmers and landowners in crafting clear agreements that establish strong farming partnerships.

Clear planning now can reduce confusion later.

A denied ag exemption is more than a form. It starts the clock running on a high-stakes deadline.

At Groves Law, we guide Florida landowners through the next steps when a denial arrives.

The appeal process involves strict timeframes and unique procedures, from VAB hearings to circuit court litigation.

Knowing when to meet with the property appraiser or when to file in court can help preserve your ag classification.

If you received a Notice of Disapproval or TRIM Notice, do not wait.

We work to explain each requirement so you can respond confidently, preserve your options, and reduce future risk.

You should not have to navigate this process alone.

When zoning does not match your plans, you need to start with the right local process.

Zoning changes must go through the zoning office in your county or city. This is not a quick step.

You will need to file an application, pay fees, and possibly attend a public hearing.

Your request will be reviewed by zoning staff and local boards before a decision is made.

At Groves Law, we guide Florida landowners through the steps and help you prepare for each stage of the process.

Local rules can vary, but every application needs careful planning and timely action.

Farm leases should clearly list which activities are allowed on the land.

Defining permitted uses upfront helps farmers and landowners avoid misunderstandings.

Without clear limits, disagreements can happen over crops, livestock, or new land activities.

A detailed lease can include what crops may be grown, whether livestock is allowed, and whether improvements like irrigation can be made.

When these details are written into the agreement, both parties know what to expect.

At Groves Law, we guide farmers and landowners in drafting farm leases that set proper boundaries and build strong partnerships.

Defining permitted uses early supports a smoother process and helps prevent future disputes.
