Maryland is one of relatively few states that permits cottage food producers to ship products directly to customers. This opens your market beyond your local area to buyers anywhere in Maryland. Note that shipping across state lines is governed by federal law and is generally not permitted for cottage food.

You can:

  • Ship products via USPS, UPS, FedEx, or other couriers to customers within Maryland
  • Sell to customers anywhere in Maryland without meeting in person
  • Accept online orders and ship to customer addresses

You cannot:

  • Ship to customers in other states (interstate commerce requires federal compliance)
