This bill would allow certain small poultry processors who are exempt from full USDA inspection requirements to sell their poultry products directly to customers at the farm, at farmers markets, or at roadside stands. Currently, state law limits where these processors can sell, and this bill would expand those permitted locations. Who it may affect: small poultry farmers and processors, and consumers who shop at farmers markets or roadside stands.
