Utah Cottage Food Law

Utah's cottage food law sets no statewide revenue cap and producers must register with the state before the first sale. Direct sales, farmers markets, retail, online, and mail all permitted.

Watch for: Utah's microenterprise home kitchen law is the only path in any state to sell homemade meals containing meat.
