Selling homemade food in Wyoming

Wyoming was the first state in the nation to pass a Food Freedom Act, and it's still one of the most generous: no license, no inspection, and a sales cap of $250,000/year. You can take orders online, but every sale has to end with an in-person pickup or delivery inside Wyoming - no shipping.
