RAW MILK PRODUCTS BILL

WE ARE UPDATING THIS INFORMATION. As of August 1, 2025, raw milk products can be sold directly from the producer to the consumer within the State of North Dakota.

When the direct to consumer sales of raw milk bill was passed in 2023, the language exempted producers from all processing laws and rules. We believed we could also sell products made from raw milk, as long as they were sold to the consumer and not through stores or third parties.

The ND Department of Agriculture disagreed and sent warning letters to raw milk producers, threatening action if we sold any products other than milk. No cream, yogurt, cheese, etc.

The purpose of HB 1131 is to clarify that producers can also sell products they make from farm fresh milk. You can see all the action on this legislation here.

We are encouraged that the ND State Legislature passed this bill with overwhelming support, including a unanimous vote by the State Senate.
