Can I make cottage food products in my shed or barn?


Read time: 6 minutes

No. Cottage food operators are not allowed to make products in an outbuilding on their property such as a shed or barn. Cottage food products must be made in the licensed kitchen in your home and stored in the permitted area of your home.
