Hi, Julie: I am growing Shitake mushrooms for the first time this year -- it's good to know there's someone on the list I can ask question of ;). While I think food regs in Wisconsin are ridiculous, I don't think it is as bad here as other places. Last summer I tried to get some interest in passing legislation similar to Kentucky's home processing law where farmers can value add products in their home kitchen and sell those products at local farmers market with minimal red tape. The state flat out told us they opposed food processing outside of certified kitchens. There is, however, new legislation proposed here that is similar to Minnesota's "Pickle Bill" where high acid products like pickles and relishes could be home processed with minimal requirements and sold at farmers markets. (I think it is LRB 2435). People need
to be both vigilant and pro-active in communicating their needs to their legislators or else they will be sure to lose their right to farm. Joyce Paski Swamp Creek Farm, Zone 3 --- On Thu, 4/2/09, juliew026 AT netscape.net <juliew026 AT netscape.net> wrote:
