Percy,

   As far as I know, there are not certifications or licenses needed specific to sell veggies (like if you were a farmer with a roadside stand) but these things are different in every state.  Certain foods require a commercial kitchen and fall under food handling guidelines rather than fresh produce (I think things like sprouts fit this since they are so fragile and can so easily be contaminated by the seeds themselves as well as the water they are grown with.  Selling fish of course will have some form of regulation and permitting in most states and of course be under food handling rules if you do anything but whole on ice.  I wouldn't worry to much about selling produce until you consistently have more that you, your family and friends can use.

 

Even if you may not need a permit or license to sell your extra squash and zucchini, you may still need a permit/business license to have that road side stand or to sell anything, the local government tends to want to get their cut of your business so to speak.  Heck around here you are required to pay the fee and get a permit for even a garage or yard sale.

 

Good Luck in your info search.
