Just based on their application, I believe that pets are never allowed in the home, but you should confirm that with the health dept. If you operated out of a separate building, it would probably have to be a commercial kitchen.

Yes, you would need a permit. I believe it would be the same permit that you’d need if you were actually making the cookies and bread.

Yes, you should be able to sell from your home, assuming you have your landlord’s permission.

Sorry, I’m not sure, but I know that it wouldn’t fall under the cottage food law. You should contact the health dept for more info.

Are you sure that you can’t do this from your home kitchen? I’d recommend you contact the ag dept to see if it’s something you can do from your home kitchen, as that would be much easier and less expensive. The requirements for commercial kitchens are usually pretty complex and can cost well over $10k. You would need to talk to either the ag or…[Read more]
I have a cat and no pets is enshrined in stone with them.
Got it. Is that something you heard directly from an inspector, or are you just going with what they’ve posted online? Sometimes inspectors can be more lenient about that. But if not, then I understand your desire to build the commercial kitchen. However, I still don’t know if it’s worth the risk in the beginning. If it were me, I’d probably do it…[Read more]
