A Little Bit of Sunshine Cookies
Mary Townsend posted an update in the group Packaging & Labeling 5 months, 3 weeks ago
I’m a “newby” in Forrager! Very excited too! I make gluten free items specifically due to my own diet restrictions. I make a lot of Fudge and I use various size tins lined with wax paper or foil. I’ve always had luck with that. I’ve been reading everything I can to become knowledgeable about what is allowed and not. I hope my packaging is…[Read more]

Thanks. I always thought you couldn’t but I obviously read the cottage laws wrong

Yes, many people do this. Usually the barriers to entry for selling non-food items are lower. You could likely do it under the same general business license that you get for your cottage food business, but you might need a different sellers permit depending on what you’re selling. Also the sales tax requirements are likely different. I’m not…[Read more]

Can I sell t-shirts or other non cottage food items along with my cottage food items ?

That’s great!

It’s a gray area to be sure. All we know for sure is that FL, AR, and OK allow interstate shipping. So shipping between those states should be allowed.
Giovana replied to the topic Interstate commerce in the forum Florida 8 months, 4 weeks ago
That makes sense.
From what I’ve been reading, most states do not allow interstate commerce. I may be wrong, but it seems Florida is the only one allowing mail deliver across state lines.
I think the issue may arise if there are complaints made about the CFO on other states, and that could fall under FDA.Cottage Oven replied to the topic Interstate commerce in the forum Florida 9 months ago
A while back, I called the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and spoke with Melissa Durkin (who has since moved to another position).
At the time, she said that, officially, there is nothing in Florida’s cottage-food law specifically prohibiting shipping out of state – only that the current law (contrary to the past) now…[Read more]
Cottage Oven replied to the topic LLC in the forum Florida 9 months ago
Since this is in the Florida forum, rather than California, I’ll throw in my two-cents’ worth.
In Florida, you can register an LLC quickly and easily online at Sunbiz and it only costs $125.00 each year (with a couple of options that could add up to $35.00 more). Far less than the California numbers mentioned in the Forrager FAQ.
One of the…[Read more]

Hi everyone, based on Florida’s cottage food law, are we allowed to sell products to other states? I read that we can use USPS to deliver across state line, but wanted to make sure. If this is possible, do you know what states DO NOT allow interstate CFO commerce? Thanks!
