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.

In general, yes, you need to follow the same rules. But in this case, I haven’t confirmed that dry mixes are allowed under the cottage food law in Massachusetts, so it might be harder to start that type of business. You can contact the ag dept to determine what they will allow.

David replied to the topic name of business in the forum Candy 10 years, 1 month ago
The best way to protect a name is through trademarking, but first, I would highly recommend that you don’t worry about that until you are making substantial revenue from your business. Unless you are making waves in your industry, you don’t give people much reason to steal your name. You should be so lucky for people to care about your business…[Read more]

No — pasta sauce needs to be made in a commercial kitchen. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

Yes, you should be able to sell jarred cakes with shelf-stable frosting.
You can sell uncut fruit and you can sell hard candy, so I assume that if you combine the two, that would be allowed. If you cut the apple, it wouldn’t be allowed, and even putting a stick in it might be a problem. You can call the ag dept to check.
Please note that New…[Read more]

No, you need to use a commercial kitchen to produce cheese for sale. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

David replied to the topic Bulk herbs in the forum Pennsylvania 10 years, 2 months ago
I’m almost positive you need a permit to do that, but I’m not sure which one. You could do this as a limited food establishment, but you should call the ag dept to see if there’s an easier way.

The requirements vary greatly by state, but there are usually other licenses required: http://forrager.com/laws/

“Another batch?” my mom asked, almost in despair. What she really meant was, “What in the world are we going to do with more fudge?”
With another pound of fudge in the works, I was going through the inevitable […]

The only way to legally bake and sell them is to use a commercial kitchen and get the proper licensing. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

Very interesting! It will be interesting to see what you think of my next blog post, which will be all about NOT perfecting your recipes. At least, not before you haven’t made money from them yet. :)

Katherine, I also recommend thoroughly reading the Colorado law page, but the short answer is “no”, you do not need a license from the health dept, though you may need other licenses to start your business. http://forrager.com/faq/#starting

I’m not sure either, but I’ve heard that you need to charge at least parish taxes, possibly state too. Have you called the Department of Revenue? http://forrager.com/faq/#sales-tax

David started the topic Unlimited Products and Custom Tabs in the forum Forrager 10 years, 2 months ago
Last week, CFO and product pages got a design refresh that widens them and puts info tabs on your pages right where they should be — at the top. All that extra space has made room for a new “custom tabs” feature that will allow CFO Pro members to greatly customize their listings. Also, say goodbye to the product listing limit!

David replied to the topic Home bakers law in the forum Illinois 10 years, 2 months ago
If you’re referring to the Home Kitchen Operation law, that was signed by the governor in 2014. This year’s amendment was also signed a couple months ago. Maybe they were just referring to the fact that they haven’t signed an ordinance?

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]
