I have a question for the group. Can you sell homemade items, that are properly sealed (like homemade syrup that has been canned to seal the jar) to restaurants for use in their food or drink production?

David Crabill replied to the topic Selling Homemade Vanilla Extracts in the forum Arkansas 2 years, 8 months ago

You can have a cottage food business, but you can’t deliver. People will need to pick the items up from your home.
