Vendor Permitting Bill Introduced – What Does This Mean for Farmers Markets?

The WV Farmers Market Association is supporting a bill that would clarify permitting for farmers market vendors. This bill, SB 304, would create a single statewide permit for vendors, eliminating the current inconsistent permitting practices between counties.If you have an opinion about farmers markets and vendor regulations, consider contacting the Agriculture Chairmen, Senator Daniel Hall (304-357-7807 or daniel.hall@wvsenate.gov), and Delegate Allen Evans (304-340-3399 or allen.evans@wvhouse.gov) to voice your opinion and to ask whether they plan to move the bill forward.
