Many beloved food businesses began at home — think Mrs. Fields’ cookies or Marie Callender’s pies. If you’ve ever dreamed of selling your own baked goods, jams, or other homemade specialties, cottage food laws could be your first step. These rules allow you to run a small food business from your kitchen, while also setting important safeguards to protect your customers.
In this webinar, we’ll break down how cottage food laws work, the types of foods that are typically permitted, and which items are restricted for safety reasons.
We’ll also cover labeling and packaging requirements, sales limitations, and how regulations differ from state to state. Whether you’re planning to sell at farmers’ markets, online, or simply to friends and neighbors, this session will help you understand the rules, avoid common pitfalls, and confidently take your first steps toward building a compliant home-based food business.
Thank you to the Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center for partnering with us on this event!
