Couple of months back, Sedgewick Maine passed a local ordinace for Food Sovereignty that basically said that no outside authority can come in with other regulations and change or disrupt the locally approved food marketplace the residents of Sedgewick has decided to create for themselves.

More to the point:
This isn’t just a declaration of preference. The proposed warrant added, “It shall be unlawful for any law or regulation adopted by the state or federal government to interfere with the rights recognized by this Ordinance.” In other words, no state licensing requirements prohibiting certain farms from selling dairy products or producing their own chickens for sale to other citizens in the town.
What about potential legal liability and state or federal inspections? It’s all up to the seller and buyer to negotiate. “Patrons purchasing food for home consumption may enter into private agreements with those producers or processors of local foods to waive any liability for the consumption of that food. Producers or processors of local foods shall be exempt from licensure and inspection requirements for that food as long as those agreements are in effect.”

I love those Maine "FREE MARKET LIBERALS!" My heroes!
