Cottage Law Information
We operate in the great state of Texas and therefore operate under the Texas Cottage Food Laws. As such, some rules apply that some people may not be familiar with:
- We cannot ship any products to you unless you purchased the product from us in person (such as at a farmer's market or similar event).
- We must conduct all business "in person". Meaning if you do business with us, we will have the pleasure of meeting you face to face at some point.
- We are not subject to licensing nor inspections by the State Health department or any local health department.
- We can only sell certain types of food, known as non-TCS (Temperature Control for Safety). Since we freeze dry all of our foods, this allows us to sell most any food since the freeze drying process can convert a normally TCS food into a non-TCS food.
- We cannot, under any circumstance, sell any meat products. This includes beef, poultry, pork, fish or shellfish. Meat products are tightly regulated by the USDA.
