What Permits Do I Need to Open a Home Bakery?

Permits Needed to Open a Home Bakery

Navigating permits and regulations can be one of the trickiest parts of running a home bakery—and while we’ve done our best to share helpful info in the past, state laws change frequently and are tough to keep perfectly updated.

That’s why we now recommend using the amazing resource at Forrager.com. They offer regularly updated, state-by-state details on cottage food laws, permit requirements, and what’s allowed in each location. It’s the best place to get the most accurate information for your state.
