WORTHINGTON, Minn. – Three state senators have proposed easing restrictions on the sale of raw milk in Minnesota.

Their bill would legalize most sales of raw milk, including sales at farmers markets and deliveries to private homes. Current law allows selling unpasteurized milk only at the farm which produces it.

The proposal comes from Republican Sens. Sean Nienow of Cambridge, Gary Dahms of Redwood Falls and Claire Robling of Jordan.
