Door 1 — sell from home

Can I sell this food from my home?

Every state lets people sell some food from a home kitchen — and every state draws the line somewhere different. Pick your state, what you want to sell, and where you want to sell it. The answer comes from the state's actual framework: its food list, its sales cap, its permit class, its label rules.
