This kind of wonderful activity is under threat due to the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009:
OpenCongress - Text of H.R.875 as Introduced in House Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 It would essentially criminalize home gardening and local farming that didn't adhere to these amorphously defined rules and procedures, all of which are beyond the reach in cost to any one who is posting on this thread. We should all stand up against this abrogation of our rights to farm our own land. Call your representative and call the office of the Congresswoman in CT who is introducing this bill.
