Legal Notice
Cottage Food Disclosure
March & May operates under the Georgia Cottage Food Law. Here's what that means for you.
What Is Cottage Food?
The Georgia Cottage Food Law allows individuals to produce and sell certain non-potentially-hazardous foods made in a home kitchen without a commercial food service permit. These products are not inspected by the Georgia Department of Agriculture.
March & May operates under this law. Our products are made in a home kitchen on St. Simons Island, Georgia, and are not subject to Georgia's food safety regulations for commercial food establishments.
Not Commercially Inspected
Our kitchen has not been inspected by the Georgia Department of Agriculture or any other state or local food safety authority. By purchasing our products, you acknowledge this.
Permitted Products
Under Georgia law, cottage food products include baked goods, candies, chocolates, and confections that do not require refrigeration for safety. All March & May products fall within these permitted categories.
Sales Limitations
Georgia Cottage Food products may be sold directly to the end consumer in person. We sell at farmers markets, craft fairs, and other direct-to-consumer events, as well as through our website for delivery only within the state of Georgia.
Allergen Information
Our products are made in a kitchen that handles tree nuts (pecans), dairy (butter, cream, milk), soy, and wheat. We cannot guarantee that any product is free from cross-contact with these allergens. Please contact us before purchasing if you have a food allergy.
Required Label Statement
All March & May products sold under the Georgia Cottage Food Law carry the following statement on their label:
"Made in a home kitchen that is not inspected by the Georgia Department of Agriculture."
