Action Alert: Act Now for Cottage Foods!

Dear Friend,

New Hampshire Senate Bill 418 will be reviewed and testimony from the public accepted in a hearing before the House Environment and Agriculture Committee on March 31at 10:30 a.m. in Room 153 at the Legislative Offices at Granite Place (1 Granite Place, Concord, NH).

The bill seeks to prohibit municipalities from requiring licenses for the production and sale of homemade foods, and would greatly help farms and small food producers expand their operations by limiting binding regulations.

TALKING POINTS

Passage of SB 418 would enable family farmers to make a better living by increasing the allowable sales of food produced on the farm.
SB 418 would enable small, independent, farms to make a better living by increasing the products they can sell that consumers want.
SB 418 would keep more of the food dollar in local communities and boost the local economy with the increase in locally-produced foods that consumers can obtain.

Taking action serves to increase #foodfreedom!

Please join us and spread the word about the importance of fair food and farming legislation.

In good health,

Alexia Kulwiec
