How to start a food business?

How can I start a food business?

  • I was thinking of doing like a stand at a market or something, selling soups - mostly vegan/vegetarian, salsa's and dips, chips and pita like flatbread, and who knows some other little items like hummus - all home made for a family business to do with my son as part of his homeschooling. But how could I go about doing this? Are there certain laws and regulations about selling / preparing food items for stuff like this? Where would we start?

  • Answer:

    In all states of the US that I know you would first need a certified kitchen... and home kitchens are not likely to be certified.

You need to find a vendor cart or stand. Go to ur Health Department and find out the requirments. Register ur business name, Get a tax i.d., find out a distrubtor or if u planning to do it from home u have to check back with the health dept. I can go on and on, but the best thing to do is get with ur city officials and find out the steps to getting a business idea. After this process ur good to go!

Have you thought of having a fudge stand instead? Lots of people love eating fudge, the vanilla, maple walnut, marble, rocky road, chocolate peanut butter, and chocolate is so creamy. People buy it all the time when they pass by a stand, at $3.50 for a 250 gram size packet.
