What is even a cottage food law?

Most home bakers are out here selling and have no idea if they are doing it legally.

A cottage food law is a state law that allows you to make and sell certain foods directly to consumers right from your home kitchen. No commercial kitchen. No food manufacturer license. Just you, your kitchen, and the rules for your state.

But here is the thing. There is no federal cottage food law. Every single state has its own rules. What is completely legal in one state might be illegal in the next. What works in one county might not work in yours.

That means what your friend told you about her state has nothing to do with yours.

In this class you will learn exactly what a cottage food law means, the key terms you need to know before you sell a single cookie, and the six things to look for in your specific state so you never have to guess again.

Then we go through your state one by one. Just you and a small group of home bakers who are serious about doing this right.

This is Cottage Bakery 101. And this is where it starts.

I looked up the laws so you don't have to.
