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

Jackie, I’m not aware of the specifics for NV, but everything you said sounds about right. If you are only going to sell one cake per month, then I suggest you save some money and just give away the cake for free.

Allofeed – Mobile application for Cottage Food Producers….
Hi guys, I just built an app that’s specifically designed for home-based cottage food producers. If you’re interested, download it from iTunes, Google Play, or the Windows App store now.
It is completely free for the seller’s to use… Payments are directly/electronically…[Read more]

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]

I would like to know where to begin about getting the legislation changed in FL regarding our guidelines. Any suggestions? There’s a large community of bakers who have a passion for baking but our limits for sales is on a hobby level. I’m a stay at home mom to a special needs son, I can’t have a 9-5 job, but would love to be able to bring in more…[Read more]

Usually amendments start with someone like you. There is a huge number of home bakers in Florida so I think someone just needs to get the ball rolling. Here’s an article about amending a cottage food law: http://forrager.com/2015/05/lobbying-amending-cottage-food-law/

PERFECT! Thanks! This is exactly what I needed! Do you know of any groups/people in FL that have started a movement already? This article suggests to do a thorough search to see if there are any others. I’m just not sure where to start on that either. :-/
-
You could try doing a Google search for cottage food law petitions. I don’t know of anyone currently working on Florida’s law.

First of all, although I’m familiar with the law, I’m not really in a position where I could override anything that an official in your area says. Here are my thoughts:
1) Your farmers market manager is telling you that you can’t use the cottage food law. You need to make you food in a commercial kitchen and get a few other things. There’s no…[Read more] -

More questions about Brevard County: It seems whatever office I go I get different answers…
Question #1: if I want to sell homemade baked goodies at farmers market venues under Cottage Law, do I still need a Food Permit? This is what a FM’s manager replied: “you must (1)have a food permit, (2) prepare the foods in a facility that meets certain…[Read more] -
