I am wanting to start a candy business using my hazelnuts from my farm I live in Oregon and red under the rules that candy is exempt from agricultural licenses. I’m wondering can I sell online without a license?

Hi, I’m in California. I make home made brittle and maple butter mixed nut products. I will be selling for the first time in a couple of weeks. When I went to my local Farmers market, I was told that I needed a TFF permit. I am in the process of getting my Class A to start but didn’t think I needed the TFF permit. I will be giving out “packaged”…[Read more]

I am new here and having trouble finding rules/laws for selling candy online. For years I have made Carmel popcorn for friends and family and I’m considering mail order/online sales. Can anyone help with Oklahoma laws. As far as I can tell it only baked goods. Thank you in advance

You need to contact your health or ag dept. The requirements are different in every area.

It is possible that you can sell them at private events and make them in your home kitchen, but it entirely depends on what state you live in. Where do you live?

Does anybody know if you can sell your product online in SF?

David Crabill replied 2 years, 5 months ago
Hey Gabriela, I see you’re from Stockton! I grew up in Lodi. You can sell your product online and deliver in-person in SF (or anywhere else in the state).

It is a non-PHF, but your state probably has different rules for vendors producing on-site at a market (the cottage food law is for items prepared at home). You should check with your area’s ag or health dept.

I think that using a convection oven (but not a microwave) to bake would be fine. Items that are not baked, like fudge, no bake cookies, and no bake candy, would not be allowed.

Any ideas on caramel (candied) apples? I’m going to try them this week–they’re so perfect for fall! I just don’t want them to flop. :)

David Crabill replied 3 years, 1 month ago
From a business perspective, they’re awesome. I think many people find that they sell well.
But technically, you are not supposed to sell unbaked, uncanned, cut fresh fruit without the proper licensing, so sometimes, health depts take issue with someone puncturing the apple with a stick. Non-punctured caramel apples are definitely approved, and I…[Read more]

Okie dokie, thanks. As far as I was aware, there weren’t any stipulations on them, whether they were punctured or not. But I’ll double check on that.
