Arizona Cottage Food Law
Arizona's cottage food law sets no statewide revenue cap and producers must register with the state before the first sale. Direct sales, online, retail, and farmers markets all permitted.
Watch for: If you make pickles, salsas, or anything acidified, the pH-test requirement is real — skipping it puts you out of compliance.
