Kentucky

Jennifer, thank you for all that you did to make this happen! The law page has now been updated.

1. No, other than producing in a commercial kitchen.
2. Fermented foods are indeed very safe, but that doesn’t seem to have affected their perception.
3. You could consider proposing a bill to amend (or more likely create anew) the cottage food law. http://forrager.com/2015/05/lobbying-amending-cottage-food-law/

First of all, keep in mind that Kentucky currently only allows farmers to sell items they make at home. If you are a farmer, I’m not sure if apple cider vinegar would be allowed, but you should call your ag dept to check.

If you’re not a farmer, you will need to use a commercial kitchen to produce your vinegar. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

That would all be illegal as far as I know. I’m not sure how strict central Kentucky is about following the laws though.

First of all, Kentucky’s laws are quite limited in that they are only usable by farmers. If you’re a farmer, then you can advertise your candies on Facebook, but you cannot do transactions over the internet.
