Was wondering can owners raise rent for doing cottage food business from my apartment?

Hello! Getting the ball rolling on home based cookie business by getting food handler and food processor permits out of the way. I’m a little concerned that it asks for a business name. Does anyone know from experience if the name needs to be “set in stone” or if it’s feasible to change after the fact?

I don’t think many, if any, counties allow meringue powder. Other CFOs who are using it may be doing so illegally.

I think you’re exempt from the state tax, but you might have county or city sales taxes that you need to collect. Here’s some more info: http://forrager.com/faq/#sales-tax

Paul, I know that some people roast coffee beans in their oven, but I don’t know how most people do it. It is possible to have your kitchen extend to other parts of the home (that aren’t sleeping areas), but I don’t know if a garage would be allowed. Assuming you’re in CA, you should talk with your environmental health dept about what they will allow.

Hi. I am new to the Cottage food industry. I purchased the book “Homemade” and can’t wait to receive it in the mail. My question is… Do I ONLY need an inspection if I am going to put my baked goods in shops and stores? Or do I also need an inspection, just selling my goods to business’s and friends?
Thank you from Cali! Soooooo excited?Annmarie Holbrook joined the group California 7 years, 7 months ago

Christian, if you are a Class B CFO, then you can sell to commercial businesses, and it is my understanding that they can sell your product by the same means that they sell their own. So assuming that the farmers market vendor is a commercial food business (and not simply a farmer that sells produce), then I would think that they could resell your…[Read more]

Michelle, I’m not surprised that they wouldn’t allow canal water. Usually private water allowances are in regards to underground wells that are not in proximity to animals, waste, etc. Private wells are allowed after they have been tested. Perhaps you could offer to have your water tested, though they might still not allow it because there are too…[Read more]
David Crabill replied to the topic Can a retail location you wholesale your class B product to legally ship it out? in the forum California 7 years, 10 months ago
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.

You only need an inspection if a 3rd party, like a store, is selling for you.
