Anyone have any experience opening a food truck or food stall business that lets you sell in local farmers markets or businesses?

No experience but I've always dreamed of having a breakfast burrito truck!! I've developed a really great breakfast burrito recipe with a special salsa that I always make for friends and family and I would love to sell, but I am scared to take the risks because of the economic situation our country is in. Do you have any idea to start a food truck??

Let's chat 👋

I’ve done bottled coffee / tea pop ups at various locations in Atlanta. My original plan was to do a regular farmers market stand but I found out the hard way you have to apply at a certain time during the year for the following year, and I was rejected from all of them bc they all had longstanding coffee vendors already and there’s a limit on how many they could have. Ended up finding odd popups to do regularly but would not recommend that route, would def have stable location to sell / pop up regularly

Yeah I had a commercial kitchen lease and did all my production and packaging there. You could also look into a cottage food license depending on your product.

I don’t remember all the paperwork I got, but def included business license, insurance, food safety certification, some food/agriculture license I forget, tax account, etc. It was a bit hard to figure out all I needed but I think typically if you get a commercial food license they have some checklist to help you out, or look into a small business resource thru city of Atlanta to help you walk thru

Prepkitchens.com is a collective resource for helping you get setup even if you’re a beginner. My friend is a chef and she started her business with them.

I haven't done this in Georgia but I did have a little booth back in Kansas that sold salsa we made ourselves and baked goods. I will say, however, I think because it was a very small town it was probably much easier to do then it would be here in ATL.

It's been almost 4 days since I had that interview; however, no feedback has been shared with me.

I can see that my profile/application is under review for basic requirements.

Should I consider my profile as reject?

Any thoughts/guidance would be highly appreciated.

Thank you
