Across the state, many food processors and entrepreneurs want to expand beyond the Farmers Markets and sell to in-state local retailers, convenience stores, and craft stores. However, selling at one of these venues requires that the processor process their product out of a licensed kitchen. To many processors, this seems like a daunting and expensive task. This publication is a supplement to the South Dakota Licensed Kitchen Process article. The goal in this publication will be to help the processor understand the South Dakota food service code so they can determine if it’s feasible to build their own licensed kitchen at their home residence.
