David replied to the topic Vegan burgers and permission from landlords. in the forum Ohio 10 years, 2 months ago
With the exception of some types of baked goods, anything that requires refrigeration cannot be made in a home kitchen and sold. Therefore, almost all types of vegan burgers would not be allowed. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
You need your landlord’s permission before you can run a business from their property.
David replied to the topic Spices and dry dip mixes in the forum Illinois 10 years, 2 months ago
If you only plan on selling them at farmers markets, then you might be able to do that with the cottage food law. Otherwise, I think the only way to do that is with a commercial license. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
David replied to the topic Church fund raisers in the forum Nonprofit 10 years, 2 months ago
In rereading this post, I’m now not so sure if you could buy sandwiches from a store and then resell them. The most important thing, when dealing with refrigerated items like this, is to call your health dept for more info.

David replied to the topic selling at my church function in the forum Virginia 10 years, 2 months ago
The short answer is, most likely, yes. You would not be using Virginia’s cottage food law. Here is the longer answer: http://forrager.com/faq/#nonprofit
Let me know if you need more info.
David replied to the topic what can/cannot be added/used in cakes? in the forum Questions & Answers 10 years, 2 months ago
Generally, if a state allows sweet breads, like zucchini or banana bread, then there are a lot of things you can bake into your bread or cake. Most fruit or vegetables can be baked in, and most store-bought candies could definitely be added.
Keep in mind, though, that you should talk to your health/ag dept about whether or not they’ll allow a…[Read more]
David replied to the topic coconut oil in the forum Florida 10 years, 2 months ago
From what I’ve heard, Miami doesn’t allow any types of homemade food to be sold. Miami-Dade County has banned the cottage food law. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
David replied to the topic nut products in the forum Indiana 10 years, 3 months ago
I’m not entirely sure, but this would probably be allowed. You should check with your health dept.
David replied to the topic selling homemade vanilla extract in the forum Minnesota 10 years, 3 months ago
You need to check with your ag dept to see if you can sell homemade vanilla extract (I don’t think you can). If you can’t, then you’ll just need to give them away if you don’t want to break the law.
David replied to the topic online sale in the forum Tennessee 10 years, 3 months ago
Yes, you can do it with a commercial license. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
David replied to the topic farmers market in the forum Questions & Answers 10 years, 3 months ago
If your bakery is commercially licensed with the health dept, then you can sell at a farmers market.
David replied to the topic Cookie business from my home in the forum New York 10 years, 3 months ago
Yes, you must follow all of the requirements on this page, which includes getting registered with the ag dept. How long you run your business for is insignificant. You do not need to get your kitchen inspected, but I’m not sure what other local requirements you will have to follow. http://forrager.com/faq/#starting
David replied to the topic Questions before starting up in the forum Colorado 10 years, 3 months ago
Your products can’t have any type of meat in them.
David replied to the topic Infusing spices in Jams? in the forum California 10 years, 3 months ago
I’m not a labeling specialist, so this advice just comes from what I do know. I don’t necessarily know the best way to accomplish this, but here are some ideas:
1. Ingredients must be ordered by weight, and my guess is that the weight of cinnamon that you are infusing is quite small. If your ingredient list is such that it’s obvious that the…[Read more]
David replied to the topic Using alcohol in baked goods in the forum California 10 years, 3 months ago
If you’re just using a teaspoon or two of vanilla extract in a cookie recipe, then you don’t need to worry about it. But if it’s a significant amount of alcohol, then you need to talk to your health dept to learn about what permits are necessary.
David replied to the topic Cottage Law labels in the forum Labeling 10 years, 3 months ago
Generally labels need to be attached in some way to the item you’re selling. If you look at the back of a Snickers bar, you can see that it’s possible to stick a lot of legible info on a pretty small package. But you can also get creative, like using a tag label that hangs off your product.
If you really need the label to be separate, you can ask…[Read more]

David replied to the topic Ice Pops in the forum California 10 years, 3 months ago
You won’t be able to use the cottage food law and make your ice pops at home. You should probably double check to make sure that that Berkeley business is actually legal. http://forrager.com/faq/#commercial
David replied to the topic Sales Tax in the forum Florida 10 years, 3 months ago
The limit isn’t actively regulated, but a health or ag dept could shut down an operation if it was clear that they were making too much. I’d say it’s more self-regulated, in that people know if they make more than $15K then they’re doing something illegal. That limitation is baked right into Florida’s law, so an amendment to the law would need to…[Read more]
