1. No — it wouldn’t be allowed on two accounts: the cream and the cream cheese.
2. I think you can, but not under this law. I’m not sure if you need more than a sellers permit.
3. Yes, and many counties require that they be prepackaged. I have seen a number of CFOs do open samples, but I’m not sure if they’re doing so legally.
4. Probably not. If…[Read more]

Hi I am planning on starting a new cottage business in San Bernardino county. I have a few questions.

1. I make an amazing whipped cream cheesecake. I realize cream can not be in my goods, but what if I bake it?
2. Can I sell bottled water along with my goods? Wouldn’t that be included with my seller’s permit?
3. Can I pass out samples? Do they…[Read more]

David replied to the topic Question on water and sewage inspections for an Operation A business in the forum California 10 years, 4 months ago

Yes, you need to get them inspected if you use a private well or septic tank.

David replied to the topic Selling fruit items in the forum California 10 years, 5 months ago

Yes, you can sell thoroughly-baked items that contain fruit, like your cake, strawberry pies, or banana bread. You cannot sell cut fresh fruit.

David replied to the topic CFO Class A/B Permit Steps in the forum California 10 years, 5 months ago

First of all, I think it’s unlikely that savory jams would be allowed under this law. The types of canned goods you can produce must have an appropriate combination of sweet and/or acidic. I don’t think there’s an instance where your jams or jellies could include vegetables. This resource should help explain what’s allowed.

Sohna Ravindran-Kandpal posted an update in the group California 10 years, 5 months ago

Hi, I’m thinking of opening a home bakery in the Bay Area, and am doing research on it as part of my market research class at UCSC Silicon Valley Extension. I was wondering if I could post a survey here on owning a home bakery in the Bay Area? It’s around 10 questions, and should give me useful info both for my class and my decision.

David Crabill replied 10 years, 5 months ago
Hi Sohna, I saw your post on Facebook. You could post it in the CA group, but honestly, I don’t think you’ll get any responses from that. This community just isn’t as well-developed as the two FB groups. Likely anyone on here who would respond would also be part of those groups. I would answer it myself, except I don’t own a CFO. I hope your…[Read more]
