<p>I spoke to Brenda at the Legislation office last week and she said the last of the bills should come down today (Monday) and the Governor has 15 days to sign. You can see if the bill has reached him on <a href="http://www.flgov.com">www.flgov.com</a> and click on "Bill Action" and look for bill number CS/HB 7209. </p>

<p>I contacted our Dept of Agriculture with that exact question and their answer was the people who sell at Farmers Markets have licensed businesses. I haven't been to a Farmers Market to see if any of the people that sell baked goods have a sign for their brick and mortar business. I have also seen baked goods at our Flea Markets.</p>

<p>I had to laugh yesterday while going to work they were talking about our new Dept of Agricultures daughter baked a cake to raise money for their organization I believe it was a 4H Club. Her cake brought in $10,000 so I guess we could auction off our cakes that may be a loop hole.....LOL<br/><br/><cite>Michael Murphy said:</cite></p>

<p>Hello Michael,</p>
<p>What I can suggest is first contact the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture and Department of Health. It can be frustrating when you contact these two departments because their answers can vary. But, keep emailing them. That is when your work starts. When I started this mission last summer 2010 I started to email every state representative and the Dept of Agriculture and Health in Florida.

<p>Hello Michael,</p>
<p>What I can suggest is first contact the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture and Department of Health. It can be frustrating when you contact these two departments because their answers can vary. But, keep emailing them. That is when your work starts. When I started this mission last summer 2010 I started to email every state representative and the Dept of Agriculture and Health in Florida. I didn' t care if they were in my district or not, because this was STATE wide. I sent letters to every one of them and the deptartments. Than in September I realized it was an election year, and I thought darn some of these reps may not get elected. But, didn't quit, I heard from one of the representatives that the Commissioner of the Department of Agriculture was submitting recommendations to the Speaker of the House for FARMERS to be exempt from selling their goods and products to the public. Well, bingo, there was my answer, I sent the Speaker of the House an email telling him about how it was illegal to bake from our own homes and have a business because it was illegal in Florida which also makes Bake Sales illegal. He responded to my email immediately. Long story short the Speaker of the House commitee is submitting recommendations to make a home baking business exempt for the rules and regulations. Our legislations goes into session in March so I had to contact everyone in Tallahassee to make this happen and we have succeeded. I am waiting to hear the outcome, the commitee is submitting this recommendation to the Senate and the Senate to the Govenor. I attached the letters that I sent to the bakers in Florida to send to their state reps. You can use these letters. One is for you to send the second is for your family and friends to send. If yo have any questions feel free to contact me.<br/><cite>Michael Murphy said:</cite></p>
