Hi there. Understand that NJ doesn’t have the cottage food law. I was curious then, how does EatWith get around this? I know they have hosts in in PA and NYC. Thanks, Mike

I don’t have specific recommendations, but I would suggest finding bakeries in your area that sell GF foods, and see what suppliers they use.

I should also mention that although the bill has easily passed through the House, it’s had trouble in the Senate. That often happens in states, as the two sides are intended to provide balance for each other. But it can be misleading… a unanimous passage by the House does not necessarily mean that a bill is close to passing and becoming law.

It’s a little hard to notice, but Hawaii is also gray on the map. Also, any orange state might as well be gray for any non-farmer. And some states are very restrictive… for instance, Wisconsin’s law only allows canned goods, and Illinois’ law is only useful to someone who sells at farmers markets. So despite appearances, New Jersey isn’t the…[Read more]

Usually the two factors working against cottage food laws are health depts and existing businesses. Many health depts don’t like them because they consider food produced in an unregulated (home) environment to be a potential hazard to the public health that they can’t control. Existing businesses obviously lobby against them for fear of increased…[Read more]

Why is NJ not passing the law? I don’t understand this at all. The last state with no law, what is the reason? Many people would benefit.

Technically both states’ laws could govern the sale. At the very least, the laws for your state will come into play, which means that you wouldn’t be able to sell any homemade food, even if it was sold out-of-state.
Some states disallow sales of homemade food from other states, even though they allow their own citizens to sell homemade food in…[Read more]
