The Wyoming Legislature passed the Wyoming Food Freedom Act in 2015, and expanded the provisions of the act in 2020. The general purpose of the WFFA is to allow the sale and consumption of homemade foods. Under the act, producers can sell products including baked goods, raw milk, poultry, eggs, and canned goods such as jams, jellies, and salsas at farmers’ markets across Wyoming and from stores operating under the act, farm stands, ranches, farms, homes, and other places. The Wyoming Food Safety Rule allows producers to sell meat such as beef, bison, lamb, and goat from farmers’ markets, farm stands, stores operating under the act, ranches, and farms as long as the meat has been processed, packaged, and labeled at a state- or federally inspected meat plant (the inspection is at no cost to the producer). Details of the WFFA, including additional information about red meat and limits on poultry numbers, can be found at the two websites listed below.
