A permit from what entity?
And where does this list come from?
And are you suggesting that I need a permit for my kids to put a stand in my own yard?[/quote]

I am not suggesting that you get your permit from the health dept, I am telling you that in order to sell edible and potable products from your home, in Virginia, the health dept. Must inspect your kitchen and any area of your house used for preparing such products.  If you pass them a permit will be issued.

Surprising, but indeed!  Doesn't anyone remember this happening to kids selling lemonade outside of the US Open at Congressional?

BETHESDA, Md. -- It was a case of bureaucracy run amok, at least from the perspective of the children operating a lemonade stand for charity near the U.S. Open.  Kids from two families put up the stand on private property -- a neighbor's yard that just happens to be on a corner across from a spectator entrance to Congressional.

During Thursday's first round, they received three visits from county officials, twice with a warning. The third time, a citation was issued for operating the stand without a permit. It carried a fine of up to $500 and required a court appearance.

"This was just not a good corner for them to be attracting people, and they did not have a permit," Montgomery County's Bonnie Ayers said. 
"Does every kid now that sells lemonade have to register with the county?" Carrie Marriott, whose children were hawking the drinks, asked a county official in an exchange caught on video by WUSA-TV.

The answer: yes. In theory, every lemonade stand in every private yard is supposed to have a permit. It's a law that's not usually enforced, but Montgomery County spokeswoman Bonnie Ayers said this particular stand could create a safety hazard in an area where police want to keep vehicular and pedestrian traffic moving during the tournament.

"This was just not a good corner for them to be attracting people," Ayers said, "and they did not have a permit."
