When farmers markets begin opening across the state in the coming months, some homemade food items will be able to be sold legally for the first time.
Until now, the state’s Department of Health restricted farmers markets from selling so called value added items, such as baked goods, candy, fruit butter, jams and jellies, to only those foods prepared in a permitted kitchen.
The change comes with the passage of the “cottage food” law, which the governor signed Feb. 18, that exempts those homemade products from Health Department oversight.
