Market authorization for alcohol at farmers’ markets
Lets a brewery, winery, cidery or distillery with an on-site store sell sealed bottles and pour small samples at a farmers’ market. The market must qualify (at least six vendors who don’t sell alcohol, most of them farmers, food makers or artisans), and the local government must allow alcohol sales at markets. One authorization per market; staff need Serving It Right.
