Cottage Oven replied to the topic "Fried" goods in the forum Bread 1 year, 2 months ago
Since I’m in Florida, I don’t know about Oregon, in particular, but the main thing would be that all of the cooking would have to be done in your home kitchen. That means that, unless there is something specific against frying, you may fry the doughnuts AT HOME, then package them and sell them at, for example, a farmers market. You would NOT be…[Read more]

In NY it says you can make spice and seasoning mixes with commercially dried herbs and spices for repackaging. Can I use peppers that I grow and dehydrate to make my own powders and seasonings?

Christine, this will not affect the sales cap on the HKO law.
David Crabill replied to the topic IL Food Freedom bill passed; cottage food expansion in 2018 in the forum Illinois 3 years, 5 months ago
This is a fantastic advancement to the cottage food law! Good work Rebecca and team. Hopefully the governor signs it soon.
Although this is a dramatic improvement to the current cottage food law, and it represents a breakthrough in a state that has consistently been stubborn, I don’t think this can be properly termed a food freedom initiative. I…[Read more]

The health dept could fine you, but I’m not sure if they will take immediate action. But once you go over the limit you are no longer operating as a home kitchen operation.

David Crabill replied to the topic Various breads, cakes, cookies, jam, pickles, granola, etc. in the forum Bread 3 years, 5 months ago
Rules are often different for B&Bs. I’m not an expert on those laws, though I’ve heard that laws usually only allow B&Bs to offer food to customers on their premises. Some states don’t allow B&Bs to sell food to their own customers (even though they can serve the same food to them onsite).
Assuming that’s the case, then you probably need to…[Read more]

That sounds like great news! I read the article, and if I understand correctly, this will only change things for the Cottage Food Law. Will any of the changes affect the Home Kitchen Operation Law (cupcake law)? I would love to see the cap on gross receipts removed for that as well!
Sheila Bernal Ray replied to the topic Letter to councilman to ask for ordinance in the forum Illinois 3 years, 5 months ago
Yes, my daughter and I got the Cupcake Law passed in Aurora, IL in January, 2017. We simply started with and email on the city website (I sent it in the fall of 2016, and they didn’t contact me until December or January). We didn’t need to do a letter. We just worked with someone from the city and she invited us to the meetings with Aldermen and…[Read more]
