Wyoming's Cottage Food Law

Wyoming allows cottage food production under state law, permitting individuals to prepare and sell certain low-risk foods made in a private home kitchen. The law covers non-potentially-hazardous foods, meaning products that don't require refrigeration to stay safe. Home bakers, jam makers, and candy producers are the typical operators this law is designed for. You don't need a commercial kitchen or food service license to qualify.

You can sell your cottage food products through direct, in-person transactions only. Permitted venues include farmers markets, roadside stands, farm stands, and direct sales from your home. Online sales are not permitted under Wyoming law, and you cannot ship products to customers. All sales must happen face-to-face, which limits your reach but keeps your operation simple and low-cost to run.

Wyoming's annual revenue cap is $750, which is one of the lowest in the country and will limit how much you can scale before needing a licensed facility. No permit or registration is required to get started, so your barrier to entry is minimal. The revenue ceiling is the primary constraint to plan around as your business grows, so track your sales carefully from day one.
