AERO is working with the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services- Food & Consumer Safety Section on a project to improve cottage food law understanding for producers and registered sanitarians across the state, and to assemble a working group to draft changes to the administrative rule for the cottage food exemption.

Network with sanitarians and other producers, learn from experts in the field and share your thoughts and concerns about cottage food in Montana.
