Local Health Food Stores

How can I legally sell food products in Maryland?
I’d like to start a raw food snacks company. There are a few local health food stores that I would like to sell my products to, I’d like to sell them at the farmer’s market, and I’d like to sell my products online. How can I go about this legally with proper licensing in Maryland? Thanks!
Each of those requires a different type of regulation and/or licensing (if any).
This is a lot of material so ideally you want to consult with the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. But here are a few notable things to know.
If you sell food to consumers, you need a Food Service Facility license. Farmer’s markets are exemption to this requirement, so long as the foods you sell are from a list of approved food types which include most raw fruits and vegetables, jellies, some canned goods, and baked goods.
A special license is available for home production, but your kitchen has to comply with a few regulations.
