Senate approves bill for some raw milk sales

The Maine Senate passed a bill Wednesday to allow farmers to sell small amounts of raw milk directly to customers if the product is clearly labeled.

The Bangor Daily News reported the bill passed without a roll-call vote and now goes to the House for a vote.

The bill would exempt from state regulation farmers who produce less than 20 gallons of raw milk or other dairy products a day. The bill requires that product be sold directly from a farm, farm stand or farmers' market in the state and be clearly labeled.
