1. You can advertise any way you want, but I don’t think you can sell from home or offer delivery. If you are posting photos on Instagram and selling at a farmers market, that would be fine.
2. The other option would be to use a commercial kitchen, get a license from the health dept, and run your business with any method you’d like.
3. Cinnamon buns that don’t require refrigeration (no cream cheese frosting, for instance) should be allowed.Deb, yes you can sell your cakes and yes, you need to register with the ag dept, and there are a number of other requirements, which you can read through on this page: http://forrager.com/law/minnesota/
If you want to use cream cheese frosting, then you can’t run your business from home. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
I do not believe you can sell homemade items in NY if you aren’t a NY resident. You probably need to use a commercial kitchen with the appropriate license to start your business. You should talk to the farmers market in NYC to see what they require.
It probably doesn’t fall under the cottage food law, but since this is a charitable event, there may be an exemption you can use instead. You should contact the ag dept for more info. http://forrager.com/faq/#nonprofit http://forrager.com/faq/#pet-food
Sorry, I’m not sure, but I know that it wouldn’t fall under the cottage food law. You should contact the health dept for more info.
Kathleen, it depends on your state, but if the state only allows direct sales, the likelihood is that you cannot offer CFO products. CFOs are often explicitly not food facilities, and food facilities cannot offer their products for sale. I don’t think your would be considered a public event unless the market happens at a specific location. Ultimately though, you need to contact the health or ag dept to determine the requirements for your area.
I’m pretty sure you need to use a commercial kitchen to produce your products, and you should contact the health dept about how to get licensed. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
I think that using a convection oven (but not a microwave) to bake would be fine. Items that are not baked, like fudge, no bake cookies, and no bake candy, would not be allowed.
Lauren, you need to prepare them in a commercial kitchen and get licensed from the health dept. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
I should also mention that although the bill has easily passed through the House, it’s had trouble in the Senate. That often happens in states, as the two sides are intended to provide balance for each other. But it can be misleading… a unanimous passage by the House does not necessarily mean that a bill is close to passing and becoming law.
