I’m almost positive you need a permit to do that, but I’m not sure which one. You could do this as a limited food establishment, but you should call the ag dept to see if there’s an easier way.

The requirements vary greatly by state, but there are usually other licenses required: http://forrager.com/laws/
When you start a corporation, you will often receive promotional mail that tells you to get this or […]

“Another batch?” my mom asked, almost in despair. What she really meant was, “What in the world are we going to do with more fudge?”
With another pound of fudge in the works, I was going through the inevitable […]

Katherine, I also recommend thoroughly reading the Colorado law page, but the short answer is “no”, you do not need a license from the health dept, though you may need other licenses to start your business. http://forrager.com/faq/#starting

I’m not sure either, but I’ve heard that you need to charge at least parish taxes, possibly state too. Have you called the Department of Revenue? http://forrager.com/faq/#sales-tax
David started the topic Unlimited Products and Custom Tabs in the forum Forrager 9 years, 1 month ago
Last week, CFO and product pages got a design refresh that widens them and puts info tabs on your pages right where they should be — at the top. All that extra space has made room for a new “custom tabs” feature that will allow CFO Pro members to greatly customize their listings. Also, say goodbye to the product listing limit!

If you’re referring to the Home Kitchen Operation law, that was signed by the governor in 2014. This year’s amendment was also signed a couple months ago. Maybe they were just referring to the fact that they haven’t signed an ordinance?

CFO and product pages just got a makeover! We dropped the sidebar and moved info tabs to the top, which will hopefully make these pages easier to use.

Stephanie, the law page only gives an overview, but it’s best to read the law yourself: http://webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us/cf_pdf/2013-14%20ENR/hB/HB1094%20ENR.PDF
Most of the things you’re trying to confirm are correct, so I’ll only point out deviations. The allowed foods list give a general overview: it is not intended to be comprehensive, but…[Read more]

Those are some crazy costs for label approval!
How can they not allow you to sell directly outside of San Diego County when the law specifically allows it?

Today we moved our CFO Pro plan out of beta, and it now costs $5 per month. Thanks to everyone who tried it out while it was in beta!
David replied to the topic Is A Cookie Business A Good Idea? in the forum Cookies, Brownies, & Bars 9 years, 2 months ago
I think the problem with cookie businesses is that they’re often more fun than profitable. If you’re interested in turning it into a money-making business, I’d recommend skipping the markets and trying to focus on direct deliveries of batch orders. And if you do some markets, consider them an advertising expense and then you can’t be…[Read more]

http://forrager.com/groups/laws/forum/topic/licensed-kitchens-in-us/Honestly, I still don’t think it would be possible to even generally ballpark the number. The correct answer is probably “more than you think”. If you include…[Read more]
