Kathy, you can now add Texas to that list of states that have a Food Cottage Law. Earlier this year our Governor singed that bill into law!!! Those wanting more info on Texas’ law can go to texasfoodcottagelaw dot com. We had some awesome ladies working very hard to get this done, and many other wonderful supporters helping.
A word to those wanting to do this, be sure to check with your states laws, as in TX we can bake and sell, but not everything, and we cannot sell at Farmer’s Markets and final payment must be made at your residence where you baked them, and each item must have a sticker or tag stating it was made at home.
As always Kathy, wonderful tips, and thanks so much for sharing this idea. I know I sure hope to do some baking and selling this year, and hope many others can too!

What a great idea… Sadly, I guess we’re not allowed to here in Mississippi.

WAIT! According to that article you linked:
“Only 17 states have cottage laws allowing legal home-based food sales. Currently Alabama, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Utah and Wyoming have cottage laws.”
Still missing Valerie’s Texas info – but includes Mississippi!!
