Weighing vegetables in the farm shop with a calibrated platform scale

Fresh, regional vegetables directly from the producer are trending – whether in the farm shop, at the weekly market, or through delivery services. To price the produce correctly, the weight must be recorded precisely. Platform scales are ideal for this, as they can measure a wide variety of container sizes and product quantities – from a small bunch of herbs to a full box of vegetables. Since these scales are used in retail, calibration is required by law. This is the only way to ensure that customers receive exactly what they pay for – and the business remains protected from legal consequences.

When selling vegetables in a farm shop, prices are determined by weight—therefore, a reliable platform scale is essential. A calibrated scale ensures legally compliant sales processes and protects the business from fines during inspections!
