I don't see why it wouldn't work, but most places you have to have an

food to the public.

USDA approved kitchens are only needed for interstate shipment of
foodstuffs. The local Health District is what is needed for local
retail.

Yeah, I forgot about that, as long as he isn't shipping the stuff to various
states he is OK. That's easy to forget about around here where I live 6
blocks from State Line Road. There is a cottage industry law here that also
allows for a "home kitchen" to produce a certain amount of foodstuffs for
sale within a quantity cap. They still have to have a compliant label. On
the other hand some of the local herb and spice vendors won't grind
anything, but buy even ground herbs and spices in bulk, so they don't have
to get a food processing license.

Speaking of coffee, these same vendors can grind coffee for you on the spot
without the processing license, but they can't grind comino seed, for
example.
