Arizona's cottage food law lets Coconino County residents sell non-hazardous homemade foods like baked goods, jams, and candies direct to consumers. You must complete a food handler course and register free with the Arizona Department of Health Services first.
Under A.R.S. § 36-136 and the ADHS Cottage Food Program, Coconino County residents can prepare non-potentially-hazardous foods, such as baked goods, jams, jellies, candies, and dried herbs, in a home kitchen and sell them directly to consumers with no health inspection, no commercial kitchen, and no revenue cap. Before selling, you complete an accredited food handler training course and register on the free ADHS online registry, renewing every three years. A later state update added a permit tier for certain refrigerated cottage foods. Products must be labeled as home-prepared with ingredients and allergens. Flagstaff farmers markets and roadside sales are common outlets.
Selling foods outside the allowed list, or without the required ADHS registration and labeling, removes the cottage food exemption and subjects the seller to full food-establishment permitting and inspection by Coconino County Environmental Health.
