Homemade Food
Introduction to Homemade Food
Homemade food, sometimes called "cottage food," is a category of food products that are produced in homes or leased kitchens and sold to the public.
In Alaska, homemade food can be sold without permitting or inspection under the state's homemade food rule. There are no requirements regarding the kitchen being used, as long as it belongs to the producer or is leased by them. There are also no limits to the amount of product that is produced or sold in a calendar year.
Cities, boroughs, military installations, and other local jurisdictions in Alaska may have additional requirements for selling homemade food in their communities. This includes the Municipality of Anchorage.
