Grower Certificate 2022Tim,
Before I can tell you the next step, I need some more information about the proposed operation, which is governed by Chapter 18H of the Minnesota State Statutes.
We need to know the type of business to be operated: growing only or wholesale nursery, and the location of the operation. Your certificate lists your home address so that will need
to be corrected or modified to include the growing and sales location (where the stock will be displayed or distributed from).
Nursery stock grower.
"Nursery stock grower" includes, but is not limited to, a person who raises, grows, or propagates nursery stock, outdoors or indoors.
Each grower or dealer is entitled to one sales location under the certificate of the grower or dealer. Each additional sales location maintained by the person requires the payment of
the full certificate fee for each additional sales outlet.
Sales location.
"Sales location" means a fixed location from which certified nursery stock is displayed or distributed.
The certificate issued to a dealer or grower applies to the particular premises named in the certificate. However, if prior approval is obtained from the commissioner, the place of business
may be moved to the other premises or location without an additional certificate fee.
NURSERY STOCK CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS.
(a) All nursery stock growing at sites identified by nursery stock dealers or nursery stock growers and submitted for inspection must be inspected by the commissioner within the previous
12 months prior to sale and found apparently free from quarantine and regulated nonquarantine pests as well as significantly dangerous or potentially damaging plant pests.
Please contact me so we can discuss your plans.

Kate,
Good to see you recently.
As requested here is a copy of our Nursery Stock Grower Certificate.
I believe the next step is for me to apply for an Interim Use Permit-correct?
Best wishes
Tim
