Reply to "Starting a Cottage Food Business - Help Needed!"

@Vartouhi  - hi! I'm going through the process of getting a Cottage Food certification and business license myself. If I can just say, is not that easy at least not in Georgia, where I live.  Like Julia said goggle "Cottage Food Program" for your state, or go to the Department of Agriculture site for your state, as that's where this program falls under. 

The requirements vary from state to state. Some states are more strict than others... GA seems to be on the strict category. 

Here's a really good FB group to join - The Foodpreneur Institute - https://www.facebook.com/foodpreneurinstitute/ The group was created by 3-4 Cottage Food operators to teach bakers how to obtain the certification and share relevant info about the industry, as well as some regulations across the US. 

This webinar also gives you a good in-depth overview of what the requirements are -- but remember, requirements vary from state-to-state -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zb29UPDI708

Hope this helps and much success!
