📣 Calling All TX Cottage Food Producers!

Organized rows of colorful fruits and vegetables creating a rainbow effect.

If you haven't heard, the Texas Cottage Food Law (SB 541) was updated during the 2025 Texas legislative session and new regulations went into effect on September 1, 2025. There are some exciting changes to what cottage food producers can make, where they can sell, how much they can sell, and more!

We collaborated with Judith McGeary of Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance (FARFA) to deliver two free online trainings for Texas farmers, ranchers, and local food producers who sell value-added products. The recorded session is now available as a self-paced online course on TXFED.org:
