Hi Rebecca,
I have attached the letter written to Rosslyn Farm stating the reasons for the "Farm to Table" exemption to the
Virginia State Food Regulations along with a copy of the relevant excerpt from the Virginia Administrative
Code. As we discussed, there are 3 determining factors in this decision:
1. This operation is an operating farm. So, the operation must meet the local county ordinance's definition as
being a "bonafied" farm.
2. All of the food prepared and served by this operation has been raised or grown on the farm.
3. Each application received by your office will need to be reviewed by our department to ensure it fully meets
these parameters to meet the exemption.
Please feel free to let us know if you have questions or need further information on this.
