Other Food Sales

The 2021 Legislature passed Senate Bill 199, which is also known as "Montana Food Freedom" and the "Montana Local Food Choice Act". This allows for the sale of certain homemade food products. You can read the full bill, or check out the document below for an explanation of this bill and products that may be sold. The sale of meat and products containing meat, including tamales, is strictly prohibited by law. The only exemption for meat sales is home-raised poultry in annual quantities of less than 1000 birds.

Montana Food Freedom

There are a number of considerations in selling unregulated products. Visit the Value-Added Producer Support program through AERO Montana for important information and helpful trainings.
