Hello I am looking for information on the legality of selling baked goods in public. I will be making the goods in my house and they will mostly be vegan recipes. They will be prepackaged such as being wrapped in saran wrap (plastic wrap) and labeled with the ingredient list. I am wondering if I need either a permit and/or license to do this and…[Read more]

No — you can only sell at your home, markets, roadside stands, and via delivery to event venues.
David replied to the topic Help with new Farmer's Market business in the forum Florida 9 years, 11 months ago
Have you called your health dept yet? Most of the questions you asked don’t have general answers and would be determined by your county or city. It’s not necessarily true that you can run your food business under the LLC that you already have, though sometimes corporations can have multiple businesses associated with them. Basically you just need…[Read more]

Hi All, I will be selling homemade salsa’s at our local farmers markets here in Orlando, but I am having a heck of a time getting straight answers on what exactly I need. Finally this site has told me I do not fall under the Cottage Food Law(unfortunately) but I have a couple questions I was hoping I could get answers to. I will be making my…[Read more]

Neither of those are allowed under the cottage food law. There may be another exemption for selling eggs (check with the ag dept), but I’m pretty sure you need a special license to sell unpasteurized milk (if it’s possible).

David replied to the topic Selling Under the Cottage Food Law in the forum Florida 10 years ago
You don’t need a license from the health or ag depts, but your county still might require other licenses/permits, like a business license. And even if they don’t, the farmers market itself may require certain permits. Farmers markets also have the ability to turn you away because you’re homebased, even though you’re a legal business. So it could…[Read more]

I think I know the answer but couldn’t find it explicitly written in FAQs. Can someone sell peanuts mixed with batter then fried under cottage law? There’s an awesome Indonesian “peanut cracker” called rempeyek kacang that’s very popular at parties and festivals. Typically people pre-order and pick up at event. We’re sponsoring an event and…[Read more]

Aimee, I’m not entirely sure. This seems to fall into a gray area, because it’s neither an indirect sale nor a direct sale, really. My guess, which could be wrong, is that this would not be allowed because you are not selling to the end consumer. I’d recommend you call the state ag dept for official clarification.

Hello! I’am starting my new cottage food business in Seminole County, Florida. I will be baking Bundt Cakes, cupcakes and muffins… Recently a lawyer office ask me if I can sell them a certain amount of muffins weekly so they can give them away as a gift for their clients. Can I do that?

From what I’ve heard, Miami doesn’t allow any types of homemade food to be sold. Miami-Dade County has banned the cottage food law. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
