Q & A:
Why do I need a food license?
Every vendor or organization selling food must be licensed through the Hopewell Township Health Department. If you work out of a commercial kitchen and currently have a license please complete the form and indicate:
in the top left hand corner.

What if I am selling packaged goods?
Food licenses are not required for pre-packaged food i.e. bagged chips, soda in cans. Any food item which will be individually handled needs a license.

What happens after I fill out the forms? You will receive a confirmation letter and booth location.

Can I cook under a tent?
No, local fire laws do not permit it.

Will there be electricity?
No, unless you make arrangement with a local resident or business.

Can I bring a generator?
Yes, the quieter the better!

Do I need a fire extinguisher?
Yes, if you are cooking with a flame an ABC Chemical Extinguisher is required.

What time do I need to be there?
Set up begins at 6:30 a.m. and needs to be completed by 8:30 a.m. with all vehicles off the street.

What can I sell?
There are lots of food options available. Call Emily (737.0037) for a list of good eats already lined up.
