questions on the home food processing exemptions
Hello everyone! I am trying to navigate the requirements to sell baked goods under the food processing exemptions. I see that we cannot sell on-line (from my understanding, you can advertise but not conduct any money transactions on-line), we do not have to pay the annual $40 to VDACS but I cannot…[Read more] -

Good evening!
You are not able to sell online under regular cottage food operations. If you would like to sell online and/or ship items (as we do), you would have to become a home food manufacturer/processor, which requires an application and inspection by VDACS. The process is rigorous but worth investing the time and effort if you have…[Read more]

Aaron Byram started the topic Extract Sales Requirements? in the forum Colorado 2 years, 10 months ago
Just trying to do my research on a couple things:
1). Can an individual sell various flavored extracts at local farmers markets?
2). If so, what is required by law to be able to do so?Any help in pointing me the right direction would be awesome.
Thanks. -

HI, Lisa. Sorry I saved the email notification, but the weeks got away from me. Unfortunately, you are correct that we aren’t allowed online sales where there is a shopping cart and payment option. I, too, have a website and a Facebook page (as well as a Google business profile and Instagram). I post my menu options in the various places and…[Read more]

I’m wondering who’s active on this forum. I’d love to hear from others in VA. I’m confused about some of our laws regarding the restriction on online sales. I have a website. I have a Facebook page. Customers want to pay at checkout when they order. Are we really restricted from collecting payment online? This is how most people make payments…[Read more]

There’s a good chance that you need to get a general business license from your city or county, and they might be able to answer tax questions. Since you can’t get ahold of the ag dept, I’d recommend starting selling and not waiting on them. I have not heard of any specific restrictions against using buttercream frosting or using meringue powder.
Thank you for the information. I’ll try and reach out to the city/county after I arrive. I wish this was easier to navigate.
