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.…[Read more]

David replied to the topic Ways to work around CF laws? in the forum Dry Goods 9 years ago
The cottage food laws are only if you want to use your home kitchen. You could use the cottage food law to sell your seasoning, but you’d have to adhere to the restrictions listed under the law.
If you want to ship and/or sell out-of-state, you’ll need to use a commercial kitchen and get the appropriate license from the health dept. It will…[Read more]

Hi everyone! Is anyone struggling to get the buzz out to find more customers? What do you find most challenging in marketing your goods?
-
I think getting noticed is hard for any new business. Something that I struggle with is talking up my product at every spare moment, with whomever I meet, and doing so in a way that comes off as authentic and not awkward. Have you found some of your marketing efforts to be successful?

I’d say it’s pretty doubtful they would allow it, but I’m not sure. You can contact the ag dept at 800-292-3939 or MDA-Info@michigan.gov.

David replied to the topic researching for start up business- hot prepared food question in the forum Commercial 9 years ago
No, you can only sell food from your home if your cottage food law allows it. A few states do allow CFOs to use commercial kitchens if they want to, but the items you can sell from home would still be limited to those your cottage food law allows.

Well I have no experience with melting pots, but I know that chocolate melts at 90 degrees or below. I found some info online that indicates that you probably don’t have a faulty machine:
“There are two “on” settings, one is “melt” and the other is “warm”, although they are not labeled (the furthest to the right is the higher of the settings).…

David, Do you know which states have laws permitting low sugar jams, jellies, preserves? Thanks, Joanne Littau
Joanne, off the top of my head, I don’t know of any that specifically allow jams and jellies that do not fall under Part 150 of CFR Title 21. Maybe Wisconsin? Their law is pretty loose when it comes to canned goods. Of course, there’s always Wyoming, which allows almost anything. I think most states that allow anything low-sugar would require the…[Read more]
