Priscilla posted an update in the group Florida 9 years, 9 months ago
So I’m just clarifying : I can sell cakes , cupcakes etc from my kitchen as long as I follow all procedures without having inspectors come to my house as long as I do not make over 15,000 a year ? Also do I have to use my real name or can I setup a separate Facebook page under a different name that I will use for this in particular ? And am I…[Read more]

You’ll probably need to brew it in a commercial kitchen. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

I was wondering on the licencing of Kratom tea? It would be a brewed beverage and also sold retail though no food would be sold and it is a non alcoholic beverage so would it be covered by this law in some sort?

Hey, can I sell my goods for fundraising purposes for my daughters sport? So, I would sell, by taking pre-orders, and then give a percentage to a booster club.
So to clarify, you would sell products by following the cottage food law, and then you would choose to give a portion of your profits to the booster club? I don’t see any problem with that. Are you asking whether you can advertise or promote your business/products by telling customers that you will give a portion of the proceeds to a cause? Yes,…[Read more]
Excellent news. Yes, to both of your questions. I was double checking on the whole pre-order thing, I guess. Thank you, for your help, David.
I don’t think there’s any problem with pre-orders, so long as they don’t happen online.

Mariana, Miami Dade is the only county I’ve heard that disallows cottage food operations, but there may be other counties that disallow them as well. Once you go over the $15K limit, you need to get a commercial license: http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
Requirements vary based on where you live, but here’s some general info on getting the…[Read more]

Neither of those would be allowed because both require refrigeration. You need to use a commercial kitchen to produce these items: http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

Often an EIN isn’t required for a company that doesn’t hire employees, but you might as well get one if your county is asking for it — it’s very easy and free. You can register as a sole proprietor when you apply for your business license, though some businesses opt for a corporation: http://forrager.com/faq/#llc

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 10 years 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]

David replied to the topic milk in the forum Florida 10 years ago
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).

Yes, you don’t need a kitchen inspection. Assuming that your county/city will require a business license, you can create a fictitious business name instead of operating under your own name. You should be able to do charity events as long as you follow the same procedures as you do when selling products for your own profit. Here’s some more info on…[Read more]
Thank you :)
