Cottage food products may not be sold at grocery stores, restaurants, long-term care facilities, group homes, day care facilities, or schools. The sale must be person-to-person, from the producer or designee to the actual consumer. REMEMBER: You must display your license where you sell your cottage food products.

Before starting your business, you must apply for a license, which you need to renew annually (licenses expire on February 28 each year). The license fee is $50 (the law specifies that it cannot exceed $100). You can either apply online or by mail. The application process will likely take about two weeks.
