Registered small farm producer permission to sell fluid raw milk and fluid raw milk product to consumers under certain circumstances

This bill allows small farms with fewer than 12 animal units (e.g., one cow, five goats, or five sheep) to sell raw milk and raw milk products directly to consumers under specific conditions. To qualify, farms must register annually ($0 fee for sales under $5,000/year; $50 fee for up to $78,000/year), complete food safety training, provide disease test results for animals, and label products with farm details and a disclaimer that they are not state-inspected. Sales can occur from the farm home (per local rules) or at farmers' markets, exempting these producers from Minnesota's standard pasteurization requirements for milk. The bill amends state law to create this registration system while maintaining safety disclosures for consumers.
