David Crabill replied to the topic Looking for Licensed Kitchen Time (Memphis, TN) in the forum Tennessee 8 years, 11 months ago

Since New Jersey doesn’t have a cottage food law, you’d need to use a commercial kitchen. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

I do not think that any cottage food law is sophisticated enough to specify bartering transactions as monetary transactions that count against your sales limit.

From what I have heard, it would be legal for a commercial food business to ship a product after they have purchased it from you.

No — Indiana only allows homemade food to be sold at farmers markets and roadside stands. In order to sell at a craft show, you need to produce your product in a commercial kitchen. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

Yes, you can sell homemade spices in Utah (at home, at craft fairs, and online), but you cannot sell them interstate. So you could use eBay or Etsy as long as you only sell to buyers in Utah. Otherwise, you need to use a commercial kitchen. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

I’m sorry to hear that you were having trouble. I just tried it and it’s working for me. Maybe it was just a temporary server issue or something.

It’s better to post on the state forums (http://forrager.com/groups/laws/forum/), since questions are usually state-specific, but this works too. What state do you live in?

You need to contact the ag dept to learn about sourcing food from overseas. I believe that all imported food needs to be inspected before it can be offered for sale in the US.

Actually, the cottage food law doesn’t allow you to sell to shops or stores either (only direct, in-person sales) are allowed. You can use a commercial kitchen to start your business, which would allow you to sell […]

Vanessa, the food safety certificate that Sonia was referring to is probably a food manager certificate. However, CFOs in Florida aren’t required to get food safety training. If you’d like basic training, you can look up a food handler training course.

You don’t need a license from the ag dept, but you may need other licenses to start your business. You will have to check with local officials for the process of starting a business in your area. http://forrager.com/faq/#starting

It’s quite possible that they would not be allowed, given the egg content of macarons, but you have to check with the health dept. If they’re not allowed, you’d need to use a commercial kitchen. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
