Dried fruit is allowed, but not dried vegetables.

I have a question please, David. Am I capable of selling sugar cane syrup under the cottage law? Also, what about “pumpkin” and “zucchini” breads, can those be made and sold under the cottage law? So happy I found your blog, great information shared. Thanks so much!

David replied to the topic Who do I mail the application to? in the forum California 11 years, 11 months ago
You should have gotten your application from your environmental health dept, and that’s where you’d send it. This is the first line in the Business section on the CA law page… please let me know if there’s a way you think I could make it more clear.

If you’re offering the item in-person after receiving a donation for a nonprofit, then there may be an exemption for you: http://forrager.com/faq/#nonprofit
In that case, you should not be getting compensated in any way.Labeling it as a free gift doesn’t really change anything, since you can actually sell the item to raise money for a cause…[Read more]

That’s so good to hear Heather! I love hearing success stories like this. You are the first person I’ve heard of that is baking bagels… it’s good to know that those got approved and good luck!

David replied to the topic Free gift with a donation? in the forum Florida 11 years, 11 months ago
I don’t think it matters what kind of nonprofit it is… if you’re shipping homemade food around as part of a business then that’s not allowed.
Even though online sales aren’t allowed, paying thru PayPal in-person still maintains the spirit of the law and I would say it’s okay to do that. It’s really not much different from using PayPal Here, and…[Read more]

Hi everyone – I am in Broward County, and I want to sell decorated cookies. Under the Cottage Food Law, are we required to get Food Manager Certification, and if so, from whom? I’ve been ServSafe certified for years, but I don’t know if that qualifies. I’ve been reading all the info put out by the state and I know that if you have a “food…[Read more]

You do not need Food Manager Certification. I usually recommend that even if not required, CFOs still take a food safety class, but it sounds like you’re already pretty knowledgeable about that stuff.
-
Perfect. Thanks so much David!

David replied to the topic Selling in Multiple Counties in the forum Florida 11 years, 12 months ago
I believe that you can, but you should probably check with the county’s health dept first. For instance, I know that Miami-Dade won’t allow any cottage food sales, but that is the only county I know of that prohibits them.

My business license for my cottage law product was issued in Hillsborough County. Can I sell my fully compliant cottage law product in other counties without getting a license for each one?

David replied to the topic Operating under the Cottage Law in the forum Florida 11 years, 12 months ago
Saralyn, make sure you read through Florida’s cottage food law first. There are specific foods that are allowed, and nothing that needs refrigeration or heat to stay safe is allowed. Also, all of the food preparation, packaging, and labeling must happen back in your home kitchen. If you want to warm something up at the stand, then it would have to…[Read more]

I found some recipes that stated that they were safe for another State’s Cottage Food Law. How can I find out if they are ok for Florida, too? Here is a link. http://texascottagefoodlaw.com/Resources/Recipes

That’s a really good resource, but sometimes states don’t approve those recipes. For Florida, you need to call the Bureau of Food and Meat Inspection at 850-245-5520, and they can tell you what they allow.

Sweet breads are allowed, and I’m not sure if they would consider the syrup a preserve. I doubt they would allow it, but you can ask them: 850-245-5520
