This bill would allow certain small poultry processors that are exempt from full USDA inspection to sell their products directly to consumers at farm locations, farmers markets, and roadside stands. Currently, these sellers may face restrictions on where they can make direct sales, and this bill would expand those options under state law. Who it may affect: small and independent poultry farmers, consumers who shop at farmers markets or roadside stands.
