Mmmm they sound yummy. I'm sorry I don't know about that, but I'm sure someone does. You may post at Entreprenuership also. I've got some apple jelly on as we speak, or as I type, hehehehe. I'm waiting for warm weather again so I can make some dandelion jelly. Hope you find out what you need to know and goodluck. So glad your here at Farmgirls. Have a great evening!
~~Blessings, Mikki

In most states, you have to prepare any food products you intend to sell to general public in an inspected, licensed kitchen. This can include a church, school, restaurant, etc. If you're affiliated with any of them, arranging time to use the space should be no problem. Keep in mind you will likely also need to report any income generated on your taxes. You can check out both of these requirement on your state's government websites.

Betty,
Have you ever thought about taking it to a farmers market?
I sold my soap, eggs ,honey and jelly and jams at one in Shreveport, LA. I did very well and loved the job and the friends that I made. Your proudcts sound wonderful!
