Cook passionately while earning a living out of it!

The MEHKO law establishes a new type of retail food facility, like a mini restaurant, that a resident operates in a private home where food is stored, handled, and prepared that may be served to customers. Food must be prepared on the day of service and can be eaten onsite or delivered to the customer by the operator. The County's Department of Environmental Health and Quality (DEHQ) is the local enforcement agency responsible for issuing MEHKO permits.
