    I have a cottage food business in St. Louis County. I am operating within the confines of their restrictions which is that I can not sell products at vendor events or farmer’s markets unless I use a commercial or commissary kitchen. Am I allowed to have both a cottage food business and use a commissary kitchen for items that I would like to sell at events?

    Yes, you can have both. You would need a separate permit to use the commissary kitchen, of course. Can you confirm that St. Louis County does not allow this law: https://forrager.com/law/missouri-individual-stands/

    I reached out to St. Louis County today and I was told that cottage food bakeries in St. Louis County are not allowed to sell at vendor events or farmers markets that I would need to use a commisary or commercial kitchen. However, the information that I was looking up about whether I could have a cottage food business and also use a commisary with the proper permits was very conflicting. If I am able to use a commisary in the summer when there are events this would open up a lot of opportunites.
