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!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

Deb, yes you can sell your cakes and yes, you need to register with the ag dept, and there are a number of other requirements, which you can read through on this page: http://forrager.com/law/minnesota/

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]
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]
