An act relating to events at accessory on-farm businesses

This bill allows Vermont farms to host weddings, concerts, and similar events as part of their accessory on-farm businesses. It exempts these events from requiring a state land-use permit if the local town has adopted performance standards and site plan review. The change applies to construction for event spaces and farm stays (overnight accommodations for guests participating in farm activities). The bill takes effect July 1, 2025.
