Under the Colorado Cottage Foods Act (CRS 25-4-1614), Castle Rock residents can sell non-potentially-hazardous foods made in a home kitchen directly to consumers, without state licensing or inspection, up to $10,000 net revenue per product per calendar year.
Colorado's Cottage Foods Act lets a producer prepare non-potentially-hazardous foods (such as baked goods, jams, honey, spices and certain other items) in a home kitchen for direct sale to consumers, exempt from state licensure and inspection. Sales are limited to net revenues of $10,000 or less per calendar year for each eligible product. Producers must complete an approved food safety course and label each product with the producer's name and address, ingredients, production date, and a disclaimer that it was made in an uninspected home kitchen. As a home-based activity it must also meet Castle Rock's home occupation zoning standards.
Selling prohibited (potentially hazardous) foods, exceeding revenue limits, or misbranding can subject products to sampling, embargo and state enforcement by CDPHE.
