The licensee shall obtain a separate permit for each seasonal farm market at which the licensee intends to sell its products. The director shall not issue a permit pursuant to this section for use in connection with a roadside farm stand.

d. A daily permit shall be valid for the hours during which a seasonal farm market is open within the 24-hour period for which the daily permit is issued. An annual permit shall be valid for one year from the date of issuance. The director may renew a permit, provided the permit holder continues to hold a limited brewery license, restricted brewery license, craft distillery license, plenary winery license, farm winery license, or cidery and meadery license, as applicable.
e. Notwithstanding any law or regulation to the contrary, the director may establish a fee, in an amount determined by the director, for the issuance and renewal of a permit under this section.
