Food Freedom Win in Wyoming
4th March 2015
“The purpose of the Wyoming Food Freedom Act is to allow for the sale and consumption of homemade foods, and to encourage the expansion of agricultural sales by farmers markets, ranches, farms and home based producers,” the legislation states. It applies to food sales that take place directly between produer and consumer, where products are bought for home consumption, and does not apply to meat except for poulty.
The new law takes “local foods off the black market,” said Lindholm. “It will no longer be illegal to buy a lemon meringue pie from your neighbor or a jar of milk from your local farm.”
A step in the right direction.
