Questions about making my own products

It all depends on your state. Texas has “Cottage Food” laws that cover homemade goods and their sales.

You can purchase all ingredients in bulk such as peanut butter... https://www.webstaurantstore.com/bul...AaAs5BEALw_wcB

get with your county health department to see what regulations, licenses, etc., you are required to have. Most demand a commercial kitchen (you can usually find one to rent somewhere), and proper labeling.

Good luck to you. I love an entrepreneurial spirit.

I think we see this all to often. around here, I always wonder, are the Amish, or are they dressed up to act like one? As for selling a product with out a certified kitchen, I don't know for certain, but I doubt those selling breads, jams, etc at our local farmers markets have certified anything.
