@david Hi I am trying to start a cotton candy business starting with only taking donations and tips at farmers markets ext. I was told I needed health permits and permission to be outside by the city is this true and if so is there any way around this?
Whether you call it donations, tips, or price, it doesn’t matter… if you are making money from selling something, it is a business and you have to go through the same procedures that similar businesses do. Cotton candy is allowed under the cottage food law, so you should be able to get a Class A license from your county and then sell it at farmers markets that allow you. However, some farmers markets do not allow homemade food, and the only way to get around that is by finding a farmers market/event that does. Farmers markets can specify whatever requirements they want.
