Farmers in Wisconsin have previously had to fight in court for their basic right to do business by selling their own home-baked goods in the market, without having to meet unjust government restrictions.

Around the country different sellers have had to fight back against the government, and some have won, the right to produce and sell items right from their own home. That might mean cookies, jam, pickles, or some other good. Over the years the government has increasingly wanted to impose unjust restrictions on this business activity, by requiring that some make their goods only in commercial kitchens for example. But for many who are farmers and other homemakers this is a high cost that stands in the way of them entering the market and trying to better their lives.

If anyone needs the freedom to be able to do business and follow their entrepreneurship dreams it is those who are financially struggling and not doing well in life, because this would give them the best opportunity to turn their situation around for themselves. But the government stands in the way and restricts that freedom of the people. It's unconstitutional and for those lucky ones that have had the means to fight back they've been successful in gaining that right to sell again.

Previously judges have deemed these rules unconstitutional that try to infringe upon the right of people to make things at home and sell them.

Occupational licensing rules are keeping thousands of jobs out of the market today and millions of lives down, to a lower standard of living, by not affording that freedom of mobility for people to try and work their way up to something better. They also fuel other negative side effects like higher prices and lower quality for goods and services.

Investing in a commercial kitchen to meet that requirement would mean thousands of dollars. This is how shared commercial kitchen spaces have increasingly become an idea in the last several years, gaining popularity around the U.S. and in other countries. People who cannot afford to get an entire kitchen on their own can instead rent a space and make their products there, in order to meet that government requirement to sell "approved items" that came from a commercial kitchen.

The rules about commercial kitchens are about competition and not safety.

One former judge who ruled the restrictions unconstitutional admitted that these rules are more about limiting competition than they are about safety of the public. That is because there is no evidence to suggest that selling home-baked goods poses any health risk.

The cost of infringing upon individual liberty of the people then for that lie of public safety, is just that it's a lie to maintain control and further limit freedom.

Farmers and other bakers etc in Wisconsin might need to bring their fight to court again to affirm their right to sell and do business. This comes after the courts already ruled in their favor and supporting their right to sell baked goods.
