What is the situation at Windmill Farms that has caused CCHS Environmental Health Division to take enforcement actions?
When the county first issued a health permit in 1974 for Windmill Farms, the business was a produce stand and did not require a fully enclosed structure to sell whole, uncut produce and shell eggs. Over the years, Windmill Farms added portioned (cut) produce and bulk foods, and many other pre-packaged food items for sale. As a result, they no longer meet the requirements for a produce stand. Windmill Farms can either return to the sale of whole, uncut produce and shell eggs or comply with the California Retail Food Code that requires owners to build a fully enclosed structure from plans approved by CCHS’ Environmental Health Division.
