Can someone point me to a resource talking about selling salsa under the cottage food law? And specifically what types of events? Farmers markets, craft fairs, vendor events, school bazaars etc. Could I rent a kitchen and bottle it without having to get a prices authority letter under the cottage food law? I am in Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Thanks!!

I don’t know of any caveats. Actually it sounds like you’re exactly on the right track and doing everything you need to do! Good luck!

I think you need to get a business license from your county or town. The process for getting one would probably be different for each area. You can set yourself up as a sole-proprietorship, and you’d need to get a DBA (doing business as) if you want to operate under a fictitious name (not your personal name).

I know that you’d need to prepare the rabbits in an inspected facility, but I don’t know much more than that. You need to contact the ag dept for more info.

Some farmers markets are produce-only, but I’ve seen many CFOs successfully sell baked goods at the markets that allow them. I’ve seen two distinct approaches: the niche approach and the bakery approach. The former focuses on a few select products, and the latter offers an array of baked goods. The former can command higher prices but the latter…[Read more]

Just wondering if anyone has any advice on selling baked goods at local flea/farmer’s markets? I know that produce sells pretty well, but I’ve not seen a lot of baked goods (not here in AK anyways). There are, however, quite a few local markets in my area; and I was thinking it might be worth a try. I’m still not sure, though…so I wanted some…[Read more]

Kristin, my assumption is that bone broth would not be allowed, but you should check with the ag dept.
