ID H0431

Establishes the Idaho Farm Freedom Act to encourage local food production and consumption within Idaho by creating exemptions from licensing and inspection requirements for certain small farm producers and processors.

Exempts small farms (those reporting less than $250,000 in gross annual sales or less than $100,000 gross annual profit) from licensing requirements when selling exclusively at farmers' markets, roadside stands, or through direct farm and home-based sales to informed end-consumers.

Eliminates licensing, certification, and inspection requirements for single transactions between small farm producers or processors and informed end-consumers when food is for home consumption or prepared for traditional community social events (weddings, funerals, church socials, school events, potlucks, neighborhood gatherings, or club events).

Requires products sold at farmers' markets to be labeled with conspicuous signs informing consumers that the product is not licensed, regulated, or inspected; prohibits unlicensed food (except raw, unprocessed fruits and vegetables) from being sold or used in commercial food establishments.

Preserves the authority of the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare to investigate foodborne illness outbreaks and maintains existing requirements for brand inspections and animal health inspections.
