New Hampshire cottage food laws
Rules change, so always confirm with the official New Hampshire source.
The law: New Hampshire Homestead Food Operations, RSA 143-A:12
What you can sell
Non-TCS breads, muffins, cookies, brownies, double-crust fruit pies, candy, dry mixes, and qualifying pickles, jams, and jellies are allowed.
What you can't sell
Cheesecake, pumpkin pies, custards, soups, sandwiches, and low-acid canned foods are prohibited.
Do you need a license or permit?
No homestead license is required for qualifying sales from home, own farmstand, farmers markets, or retail food stores. A homestead license is required for internet/mail-order sales, restaurants, wholesalers, and other nonexempt channels; current license fee was not confirmed.
Sales limits
The current agency search result gives no dollar threshold; an operative statutory cap or absence of one could not be fully confirmed.
Where you can sell
Exempt channels include home, own farmstand, farmers markets, and retail food stores. Internet, mail order, restaurants, and wholesale require licensing; interstate shipment conditions were not confirmed.
Label requirements
Homestead labeling requirements apply, but exact required information and disclaimer wording could not be verified from a directly accessible official source. Confirm the applicable licensed or exempt label with DHHS.
Good to know
Agency search results confirm the two-route structure. Direct agency and statutory fetching returned 403, preventing a complete verification. Some details on this page could not be fully confirmed from official sources, so check with the state agency before you sell.
Pricing your products
Knowing your real cost per item matters as much as following the law.
