Local, State, and Federal Agriculture and Food Manufacturing Licensing

We have assisted various clients, including farms, consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies, and “non-traditional” food clients (such as independent schools) evaluate and navigate a variety of permitting, licensing, and registration requirements before local departments of zoning and public health, the Connecticut Department of Agriculture, and Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection.  We have assisted clients apply for local food store/service licenses and state Food Manufacturing Establishment licenses (including for wholesale) as well as register with the state under the Produce Safety Rule. Recent examples include securing local and state approvals for a farm to install a shipping container converted into a hydroponic lettuce and herb garden.
