New rules trouble local bakers at Urbana's farmer's market
Just a few weeks before opening day at the Urbana farmer's market, local bakers received a letter from the Champaign-Urbana Health District saying they can't sell at a farmer's market without a valid health permit. In the past, selling goods made in their home kitchens was permitted.
