    This is a great site. I never knew “cottage laws” existed. I’ve contracted with a commercial kitchen but would prefer to bake at home. Can both commercial kitchen and home be used?

    • Usually, only the home can be used, but some states allow cottage food operations to use commercial kitchens as well. No matter what, I think it would be possible to open two separate businesses — one for the commercial kitchen, and the other for the CFO.

    • I think you can use both types of kitchens in VA, but if you’ve already setup a commercial food business, you should probably leave it be. You could setup a new business and transfer all of your operations to that, but maybe keeping the two businesses would give you the most flexibility.
