Bill > SB00154

This bill proposes to modify existing Connecticut law regarding cottage food operations by expanding their ability to sell products. Specifically, the bill would allow cottage food producers to sell their homemade food items at farm stores and cafes located within a 20-mile radius of the producer's residential dwelling. A cottage food operation typically refers to a small-scale food production business run from a home kitchen, which is regulated to ensure food safety while providing entrepreneurs with a low-barrier entry into the food production market. By permitting these producers to sell their goods at additional local venues like farm stores and cafes, the bill aims to create more sales opportunities for small-scale food producers and potentially support local agricultural and food-related businesses.
