Overview
- Clark County Code Enforcement issued a notice after a complaint and ordered Mama Llama Bakery to stop porch pickups by August 16 and to cease operations by August 20.
- The violation listed by the county centers on having customers pick up orders at the door, which the county says conflicts with a local code that bars on-site clients at residences.
- Owner Lindsay Skolnik holds a Southern Nevada Health District cottage-food license that allows direct sales up to a $35,000 gross-sales cap, but that licensing does not override county land-use or business-license rules.
- Skolnik says she applied for a commercial food license in July and has a lease on a commissary kitchen but cannot begin commercial production until the county approves that license, a process she estimates could take six to eight weeks.
- Skolnik has launched a Change.org petition and is pursuing farmers-market permits and other sales channels as she disputes the county’s claim she lacks a business license and seeks rule changes to protect cottage-food sellers who grow quickly on social media.
