State Rules Lookup

Pick your state and what you want to sell. You get one card: whether it is allowed, the yearly limit, how you can sell it, and the label words.

This is general information to help you find your state's rules, not legal advice. Check with your state agency.

The same lookup is linked from State rules. Share rules already on file stay on each state page. A map of homemade-food rules is on Food freedom.

Selling on tribal land

If you sell on or from tribal lands, your tribe's own laws and food rules may apply instead of, or along with, state rules. Check with your tribal government.
