Are you a homesteader or small farm vendor? Starting July 1, House Enrolled Act 1424 will deregulate the sale of certain homemade foods, meat products and produce sold directly to consumers.

To help those impacted by the new law, INFB has partnered with Purdue, Indiana Grown and the Indiana Department of Health to host a webinar providing guidance and resources.
