Because I know the people and they don't have a license. Businesses have licenses, my friends and neighbors who participate don't.

  Umm...OK - if you've asked them. It's just that getting a license is not complicated, and plenty of regular non-business folks get them to sell at the farmer's market over here. Looking up on ND, it seems the state doesn't have too many health guidelines for individuals selling at the farmer's market. They do say, though, that individual counties may have stricter rules. That may explain it.

    A county commissioner who gets grandma or a mother of a small child thrown in jail will not be county commissioner[1] for long (or perhaps even a resident of the county). Getting a license is a waste except for those who actually want to run real businesses. 1) I would imagine the sheriff is going to lose his/her job too

Getting a license is a waste except for those who actually want to run real businesses. There are ways to enforce without people being thrown in jail. In my state/county, the organizers of the farmer's market simply will not let you set up a stall/sell without one. Everyone has to preregister and show proof of license. No jails needed.
