You don’t need it in the lease agreement (unless your landlord requires that), but it’s really a moot point since you can’t sell homemade vegan burgers anyway.

I really don’t know. This is a very county-specific determination. Sometimes it’s as simple as a written note signed by your landlord. Start by asking the ag dept about it.

David replied to the topic Vegan burgers and permission from landlords. in the forum Ohio 11 years, 3 months ago
With the exception of some types of baked goods, anything that requires refrigeration cannot be made in a home kitchen and sold. Therefore, almost all types of vegan burgers would not be allowed. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
You need your landlord’s permission before you can run a business from their property.

David replied to the topic selling at my church function in the forum Virginia 11 years, 3 months ago
The short answer is, most likely, yes. You would not be using Virginia’s cottage food law. Here is the longer answer: http://forrager.com/faq/#nonprofit

Yes, you must follow all of the requirements on this page, which includes getting registered with the ag dept. How long you run your business for is insignificant. You do not need to get your kitchen inspected, but I’m not sure what other local requirements you will have to follow. http://forrager.com/faq/#starting

My son and I are writing a business plan for a small business that would offer a variety of homemade sausages, yes?
Due to the fact that we are dealing with meat appears to exclude us from operating this as a cottage industry, is this correct? Is there any way that you are able to acquire a license that would allow us to prep and make the…[Read more]

I have a question about selling homemade pasta. I did not see it listed under the covered food items and I am just wondering exactly what category it would be in. I have a restaurant that is willing to carry my product but I am not sure if I can make the pasta from home or if I need to use the restaurants facilities. I would also like to…[Read more]

If you’re talking about cooked pasta, then that’s definitely not allowed. But it looks like Ohio also doesn’t allow dried pasta. So you’re only option would be to go commercial. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

You must follow Maryland’s laws, and I don’t think they will allow you to sell in PA.

Hi David,
Regarding the bill and current NJ law. Is it legal to bake a cake at home and sell it to someone directly? No store, no farmer’s market….-
There is no NJ law allowing homemade food: http://forrager.com/law/new-jersey/

I make Salted Caramels at home and typically would give them out to friends and co-workers. Recently a boutique store wants to offer them. I also want to be able to sell them online. I take it this would fall under commercial and not cottage laws, right?
-
That’s right. VA only lets you sell at farmers markets and from home (including delivery).

Hi David, I would like to tap into a certain market by preparing chocolate dipped pretzels, cookies, or rice krispy squares once a month in my community via mail order or word of mouth. These items would be produced in my kitchen which has no carpeting, but I have a dog. What kind of licensing do I need to proceed?

If you want to ship your products, then you need a commercial license. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

There is no way for you to sell a homemade sausage, unless you build a separate commercial kitchen in your home (very expensive). If you want to keep your costs low initially, you should find places where you can either rent or borrow the use of a commercial kitchen, such as at restaurants, churches, etc. No matter what, you will not be able to…[Read more]
