You cannot sell homemade guacamole. You need to use a commercial kitchen and get licensed with the health dept. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

No — you need to produce it in a commercial kitchen. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

Yes, all meats in any form are definitely prohibited. You need to use a commercial kitchen. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

I have never heard that for Arizona. Are you sure the article was written for Arizona? If you can’t find info online about this, then you should contact your health dept for clarification. If you find that farmers can sell homemade goods, I’d really like to know!

Arizona’s law only allows baked goods and candy, but even if you dried produce in an oven, I don’t think they’d be allowed under the law. You probably need to use a commercial kitchen, but you should check with the health dept.

If it’s not baked, you can’t use a home kitchen. You will need to use a commercial kitchen to start your business. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial

You would not be able to use the cottage food law (as I think you already know), but oftentimes the regulations for selling coffee are much simpler than getting a standard commercial license. Check with your ag dept, as the requirements usually vary between counties.

You wouldn’t be using this cottage food law for that kind of business. I’m not sure what you need, but your health dept should know.

Oh okay… you’re definitely not going to find that info online! You need to be in close communication with the health dept.

i am building a new kitchen and wanted to get the specs for having one i can license to sell cookies out of state…

You mean for building one? It’s super complicated and the rules a different for each dept. If you just want to use a commercial kitchen, you can do that, but you’ll still need to submit plans to the health dept. I’m not sure exactly what your question is, but I won’t have any definite answers because it depends on the dept.
