Here is a flow chart that may be helpful in seeing the many steps of licensing and permits involved with building a cheesemaking facility. I have focused this chart on California, as it is one of the more “permit heavy” states, but most of the steps will apply in other states as well. 
Fantastic flow chart, Gianaclis. I only wish I had my hands on it a year ago!

Where is “stick your head in a bucket of water”? I love the decision point of comparing liability insurance rates for raw versus pasteurized cheeses.
