Can I sell homemade food in Wyoming?

Usually yes โ€” Wyoming's Food Freedom Act is one of the most permissive homemade-food laws in the country. It covers far more than shelf-stable baked goods: refrigerated foods, dairy, raw milk, and more are allowed direct-to-consumer, with no license, permit, or inspection. Meat is the main exception. The wizard below checks the choices that commonly change the answer.

Wyoming label / disclosure requirements

  • Verbal or written disclosure at time of sale: not certified, labeled, licensed, packaged, regulated, or inspected
  • Printed disclosure statement required for retail-shelf sales
  • Product name, ingredients, allergens, and net weight (best practice, not mandated)
  • Producer name and contact (recommended)
  • No state-issued permit number โ€” none is required under the Act

Common Food Freedom Act blockers

  • Customers outside Wyoming (interstate sales)
  • Most meat โ€” only poultry (capped), rabbit, and certain fish are exceptions
  • More than 250,000 units or $250,000 gross revenue a year
  • Retail-shelf sales without proper separation and labeling
  • Wholesale/consignment without a valid designated-agent arrangement
