you said you can put fresh fruit in your muffins. Can u do zucchini? I always put my muffins in the freezer, since there r no preservatives in them and I live in FL. but just so they last longer. How do you determine "time sensitive" as most home baked things do not have preservatives in them. This affects my baking especially, because it is all gluten free, and I use nut flours. I m sure I could leave them on the counter a couple days, but this seems quite subjective. Also, what about waffles? Thanks! This was very helpful.

You convinced me to start a tea business!!! I’m so happy starting at my first farmers market this weekend! How can I explain I purchase them from a wholesaler that sounds nice to customers?

Florida Cottage Laws DO NOT allow us to cook/bake anything from a "rented" kitchen. "In Florida, the use of a commercial kitchen and/or commercial equipment is prohibited, all cottage foods must be made at your primary residence"
In Florida, if you're planning to sell lemonade from a stand or a truck, you will likely need to obtain several permits and licenses to operate legally. Here are the key licenses and permits you may need: Business License: You will need to register your lemonade stand/truck as a business entity with the state of Florida. This may involve obtaining a business license or registering your business name (also known as a "Doing Business As" or DBA registration) with the Florida Department of State. Seller's Permit (Sales Tax License): In Florida, you are required to collect sales tax on taxable items, including beverages like lemonade. You will need to obtain a Seller's Permit (also known as a Sales Tax License) from the Florida Department of Revenue to legally collect and remit sales tax on your lemonade sales. Food Service License: Depending on the specifics of your operation and the scale of your lemonade business, you may need a food service license from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). This license ensures that you meet health and safety standards for food preparation and handling. Mobile Food Vendor Permit: If you plan to operate your lemonade stand from a mobile vehicle (e.g., a lemonade truck), you may need a Mobile Food Vendor Permit from your local county health department. This permit ensures that your vehicle and operation comply with food safety regulations. Temporary Food Service Permit: If your lemonade stand/truck will be set up temporarily for events, festivals, or markets, you may need to obtain a Temporary Food Service Permit from the local health department or event organizers. This permit allows you to operate temporarily at specific locations. Zoning and Permitting: Depending on your location and the regulations of your city or county, you may need to obtain additional permits or approvals related to zoning, land use, and signage for your lemonade stand/truck. It's essential to check with the relevant local and state authorities to determine the specific requirements for operating a lemonade stand or truck in your area of Florida. Regulations and permit requirements may vary depending on factors such as location, scale of operation, and the type of events or venues where you plan to sell lemonade. Additionally, it's a good idea to consult with a business attorney or advisor to ensure that you comply with all legal requirements and regulations for your lemonade business.
