The Food Safety and Modernization Act (S. 510) has caused a lot of controversy. The good news is that the Tester-Hagan Amendment (if approved) would address some of those concerns, like exempt some "farms that direct market a majority of the product to consumers to clarify that this includes sales made at farmers markets, community supported agriculture drop-off sites, roadside stands and other similar direct market venues". Although this amendment is being voted on currently, another positive ... continue reading...
