I am both a market gardener and President of Gilmanton's Own, Inc., a 501(c)3 organization with a mission of supporting local agriculture and farmers. If the requirements for designation of "occasional food service" were made marginally more generous -- 4 days out of 28 instead of 4 days out of 3o -- it would mean that more small establishments could serve the public. This is very important for those of us offering value-added foods made from New Hampshire farm products. One day a week would not be undue competition with restaurants and other establishments that are primarily food-service businesses. It would complement what they offer. Thank you.
