Bill > HB4153

This bill allows for the establishment of "farm stores" on land zoned for farm use, expanding upon the existing allowance for "farm stands." A farm store, as defined by the bill, can sell farm products and processed farm products from the local agricultural area, along with other retail items (up to 25% of the store's floor space), prepared food and beverages, and can host agri-tourism activities. The bill sets specific acreage and farm use requirements for a farm store to be permitted, depending on the size of the farm operation, and allows for on-site kitchen facilities. It also grants local governments the ability to set siting standards for farm stores related to access, traffic, noise, hours, and sanitation, but prohibits them from using these standards to prevent farm stores from operating. Additionally, the bill clarifies that farm stores are not permitted uses in conjunction with psilocybin-producing fungi crops or marijuana crops, aligning with existing regulations for farm stands.
