Mississippi On-Farm Sales and Food Freedom Act; create.
Mississippi HB 1407, the "Mississippi On-Farm Sales and Food Freedom Act," allows farmers to grow, raise, and sell unprocessed agricultural products (like raw milk, eggs, vegetables, or meat) directly to consumers on their property or at farmers' markets without local government permits or regulations. It prohibits counties and municipalities from restricting these direct sales, regulating farm production practices (e.g., crop management), or requiring permits for non-commercial home gardening or small-scale animal raising (e.g., chickens or goats). The bill mandates a clear "Buyer Beware" label on all unprocessed products to inform consumers about inherent risks, while explicitly stating it does not override local zoning laws or nuisance regulations. It affects Mississippi farmers selling directly to consumers and consumers purchasing raw agricultural products.
