In this month’s Chronogram, I explore the issues surrounding home processing in New York. (Every state has different laws governing the legal sale of home-produced foods). As more consumers become aware of the importance and quality of local food, markets are opening up for homemade products, enabling savvy canners and bakers to increase their household income.

Also, the law prohibiting home processors from using the Internet in any form for promoting their products does not prevent me from telling you that Julia of Half Pint Preserves has a blog.
What a retarded law.
Great article Peter. The law against internet promotion makes absolutely no sense to me…
There’s some movement towards an online petition in the near future. I’ll keep you posted.
What?? No online marketing?? That’s nutty.
Is that just New York?
I can’t say too much about other States’ laws, but it is definitely true in New York.
