You would need to start using a commercial kitchen and get a license from your health dept. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

Yes, you can use all of those methods, but your sales must be made in-person.

David replied to the topic What do I really need in the forum Florida 9 years, 7 months ago

Yes, you need to get a license and find a commercial kitchen to use. Most importantly, you need to talk to your health dept about all the steps required in starting the business. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

Hi everyone :)
I’m new here and am trying to figure out if I can sell vegan nut based cheeses under cottage food laws. I see nuts are okay so how about cheeses made from nuts and other plant based ingredients? Thanks for your help!

David Crabill replied 9 years, 8 months ago
I’m not an expert on vegan cheeses, but I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t be allowed. Florida doesn’t even allow nut butters, so you will probably need to use a commercial kitchen. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

David replied to the topic Doughnut business in the forum Bread 9 years, 8 months ago

NJ doesn’t have any cottage food rules, exemptions, etc. Since the doughnuts will be made in a commercial kitchen, this should be possible, but I’m not sure of the specific rules. You will still need to label them (probably in the commercial kitchen), get a food business license, etc. Since you are not actually preparing the food, and the baker…[Read more]

I have a questions regarding making doughnuts in the state of CO. First question, do doughnuts fall within the cottage law in CO and second question is what are the limits if any, regarding filled doughnuts as in Jelly, Jam and/or frosting. Any advice/help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi all, I’m new to this site so bear with me if I may be asking a redundant question. I am a pet sitter, and recently started making dog treats. My treats are human grade: gluten free flour, ground flaxseed, eggs, pumpkin puree, and peanut butter. I understand that I cannot sell “dog food” under the cottage law, but I am thinking of labeling…[Read more]

David Crabill replied 10 years, 1 month ago
Yes, I would say so. If your primary intention is to sell dog treats, I’d recommend you use the systems established for that type of business. Just for the record, every type of pet food should also be edible by humans. You might try selling them under-the-table for a couple months to verify that there is demand for your dog treats.

  My first batch flew out the door! I definitely think there is a market for them. I agree that every dog food should be edible by humans, but I can guarantee that the majority of store brand dog foods are horrible for dogs! My Jack Russell is highly allergic to any dog food containing grains, corn, chicken, beef. He scratches like a maniac.…[Read more]
