In 2018 Utah legislators passed The Food Freedom Act. This law exempts producers from licensure, permitting, certification, and inspection regulations when selling food (with the exception of non-poultry, processed meat) directly to the informed end consumer for personal use.
Why was this law passed? The past several decades have seen regulatory boards and bureaucracies increase in size, scope, and authority, leading many small farmers to feel overpowered by decisions and directives that are costly or untenable for their operations. Like other forms of regulation, the larger industry players— with access to huge amounts of money and political influence —attempt to commandeer or compromise the regulatory bodies for their own economic benefit.
In short, the food freedom act allows consumers to decide where to spend their own money and source their own food from. This means small farms like us with outstanding humane and ethical food production practices will not be priced out of the market by conventional big ag as long as we have the support of our customers.
Our poultry is not USDA inspected. The health of our animals and the people we serve are our highest priority, therefore our slaughter, processing and storage have been designed to meet or exceed Federal sanitization and contamination expectations.
