Chapter 123, (2026 Laws): Effective date January 1, 2027.
Summary
The law lets owners create farm stores on land zoned for exclusive farm use or mixed farm‑forest use, provided the property meets specific acreage and farm‑use thresholds. Stores may sell farm‑grown and processed products, a small amount of retail items, and offer on‑site meals and agri‑tourism events, while local governments can set siting standards for access, traffic, noise, hours and waste. The measure updates land‑use statutes to clarify permitted uses for farm‑zone properties.
