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.
