Hi Katrina,

Thank you for reaching out to us at the UNH Extension Infoline. You've asked a very important question here! I am including a few resources for you below to read more. From the resources here, it explains the homestead food law (other known as cottage law) in depth. If the maximum gross sales have exceeded $35,000, that would need a license. The first resource below will include scenarios for when a license is NOT necessary.

After reviewing these resources, if you still have questions, please also double check with the NH Department of Health and Human Services where the following license requirements originate. We also have amazing Food Safety Field Specialists on staff that may be able to provide further insights. Wendy Johnecheck, <personal data hidden>, is the UNH Extension State Specialist for Food Safety and has a wealth of knowledge in this realm!
