Because it’s not always apparent when things are shelf-stable and when they are not, FL does not allow anything with cream cheese or butter (though butter in something thoroughly baked is allowed).
Regarding the science of it, there are a lot of variables at play. In general, sugar is a stabilizer that will make something more shelf-stable.…[Read more]

David Crabill replied to the topic Startup Expense CATEGORIES in the forum Business 2 months, 2 weeks ago
If you use a free accounting software like Wave Accounting, you can just use the default categories they have. But in general, I wouldn’t worry about it too much. When you add expenses, you can add new categories at that point if your existing categories don’t fit.

No, Wyoming’s food freedom law is only for consumable items. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they also make it very easy to sell homemade body care products. I’d start by contacting your local health department.

It’s July 1st, 2020, and for the first time in over 7 years, I’ve added a new rank to Forrager’s map. I named it “freedom”, and Wyoming has the honor of being the first state to reach this status!
As of today, […]

David Crabill replied to the topic Add/Update Law – can't submit, dropdowns don't work in the forum Forrager 6 months, 1 week ago
Michael, thanks so much for letting me know. I figured out the problem, but it’s not fixed yet. Thanks for taking the time to explain the updates for Oregon’s domestic kitchen law. Sometimes this happens, where there is a difference between the law and what the health dept actually allows. I will update that page.

We just started 2020 and we already have a cottage food law update!
Except this time, it’s not a good one.
Actually, as far as I recall, this is the first time an established* cottage food law has […]

There are probably no other cookie stores for the reasons outlined above (i.e. it’s not a good sign). Also, college students can be VERY frugal, and one of the hardest groups to sell to. Things I would try: 1) […]

David Crabill commented on the post, How Many Products Should You Sell? 1 year, 2 months ago
James, it partly depends on how many you’ve sold so far. If you haven’t sold anything, then I would just start with two or three selections of one type of item. Over time, you can add more types of items as you […]

Lori, I think you are referring to the easier-to-create blog sites like WordPress.com (as opposed to WordPress self-hosted), Blogger, and others. But I still consider those websites too, and not worth your time at […]

Legally, I don’t think there’s any way for you to avoid permits. In fact, because you are selling alcohol, I think you’d have to deal with more permits than most food businesses. But truthfully, I’m not an expert […]

Correct, you’d need a commercial kitchen and licensing from the health dept.

Over half a year into this law taking effect, it’s confirmed that health departments are holding out, and people are frustrated.
However, I was wrong about Berkeley being an early adopter of the law. Only […]

Thanks David. What about fudge? Is that allowed in FL?
