 	Do	 not produce, package, 	handle	, or sell	 any home	-processed produ	cts 	if you feel ill. 	 	
 	Utilize 	CDC guidance	 (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019	-ncov/prepare/get	-your	-household	-ready	-for	-COVID	-	
19.h	tml	) in your home 	and continue to practice everyday preventive actions 	– wash 	your hands often with soap and 	
water for at least 20 seconds	.  	 	
Selling from home:	 	
If selling directly from your home, find ways to maintain social distancing of six (6) fe	et between yourself and others	 	
whenever possible	: 	
 	Offer	 scheduled 	“porch pickups	” using a dedicated, protected location outside your home. Remember that product 	
must sti	ll be labeled and packaged correctly. Work with your custo	mers to arrange pickup times, minimize the time that 	
your product spends outdoors, and monitor to ensure protection from the elements.	  	
 	Offe	r “curbside	” service 	to your customer	’s vehicle 	if you do not have a safe loc	ation to arrange porch pickups.	 	 	
Selling b	y delivery:	 	
If you offer in	-person del	ivery of your home	-based goods, 	find ways to maintain social distancing of six (6) fe	et between 	
yourself and others	 whenever possible	: 	
 	Offer	 scheduled 	“porch 	drop	-offs”	 using a pre	-determined, protected location outside of the 	customer’s	 home. 	 	
 	Offer 	“curbside pickup	” from your vehicle	 if your customer does not have a 	protected location for drop	-off delivery.
