Default Florida Home-Based Baking

Hello Left4bread,


You cannot bake from home in Florida. You will need to locate an incubator/licensed commercial kitchen. Once you have located a kitchen, contact the Florida Department of Agriculture and they will handle the inspection or provide the process/paperwork you will need to complete.

There are two incubators in Florida that I am familiar with:

Jackie’s Commercial Kitchen Rental
Groveland, FL,
Phone: 407-421-8066
jackiecaters@aol.com


Kitchen of Dreamz
6152 126th Ave, Largo FL 33773
727-953-9879
813-767-6050
cindykod@tampabay.rr.com
http://www.kitchenofdreamz.com

I don't know if these are close to you. You may also contact church kitchens or daycare center facilities in your area. I had a contact for Florida's Dept of Ag, but with staff changes I don't know who it is now. I will try to locate the information and post in this forum.

Hope this helps.

Denay

Hi yourself, DDenay!
Sorry for being obtuse in my last post.
I didn't mean to sound disparaging... well, ok, I did.
Anyhow, you have some good advice, seem well informed, and have a couple of links that look helpful.
Sorry for being jaded.

Still, I AM jaded and would go straight to the horse to see what they say. And if you can figure out who is spooning the peanut butter into the horse' s mouth to make the horse move it's lips and spout ...

I realize that your posts are helpful and mine are just me venting, so...
I'll shut up now.

Heck, I don't even live anywhere near Florida
