David Crabill replied to the topic Facebook help in the forum Marketing 9 years, 7 months ago
It depends, but I think in most cases, it’s a good idea. Or put the prices on your website and link to that from Facebook. It’s not always possible to have fixed prices on certain items, but if you have specific rates, you might as well be transparent about that. For the price-sensitive customer, they’ll appreciate it, and for others, it will (at…[Read more]

David replied to the topic Jam ingredients and labelling in the forum Jams, Jellies, & Preserves 9 years, 9 months ago
I just checked out CFR 21 again, and although that is usually pretty confusing to me, it does look pretty clear that a blackberry jam needs a 47/55 ratio. Also, this seems correct to me… jams and jellies typically need more sugar than fruit.
In the case of the CFO jams you’ve seen in the market, that’s likely a mistake by the producer. In the…[Read more]

David replied to the topic Selling minerals such as gypsum, epsom salt. Permits required? in the forum Business 9 years, 9 months ago

David replied to the topic researching for start up business- hot prepared food question in the forum Commercial 9 years, 9 months ago
1) I don’t think customers can pick it up from your home. Probably the best thing would be to deliver the items.
2) It would depend on your local zoning laws, since that might increase foot and car traffic in a residential area. Since I just focus on the cottage food laws, I haven’t really tracked resources for commercial food businesses, but the…[Read more]

I left some more info in my response to your comment on the law page, but basically, the relationships you establish with customers are everything. My suggestion would be to wait until this is actually a problem before worrying about it.
