Sources and method

Every kitchen on this site comes from a list published by a government health department, a state agriculture agency, a city license register or a public university. We don't scrape other directories.

How we build and check listings

1. We read each official list and copy the kitchen's name, address, phone and any services it states, exactly as printed.
2. We keep the list's own title, link and date with every kitchen, and show them on the page.
3. We re-check every list against the original. The last full check was September 29, 2026.
4. Map pins are placed at the ZIP code or town, not geocoded to the street, so they're approximate.
5. Rules and cottage food pages summarise official documents in plain English and link them. They are not legal advice.

Health department lists are provided as a public service and usually say they're incomplete and not an endorsement. The same applies here: a listing doesn't mean the kitchen has space, and we don't vouch for any kitchen.
