Cliff I'd call the Dept of Agriculture. They seem to license all businesses. I tried to do the same thing years ago in MA. You had to have a commercial kitchen and all kinds of inspections. New Hampshire has a wonderful program through UNH and the Cooperative extension. They allow you to use their commercial kitchens. They also allow you to use the kitchens for canning.

Thanks Ms Marion :)

Seems this is the case every where. Spoke with Ryan's Grandmother who makes and sells cookies in Michigan. She had to have a commercial kitchen as well.

I ran into the same problem. Wanted to do salsas, relishes & chutneys at the Farmers Market, but can't afford the permits and commercial kitchen time.

I finally found a commercial kitchen in Orlando (Winter Springs). Rents by hour with a 3 hour minimum. If anyone needs the info, let me know.

Awesome! That's cool!
