Description

From farm-to-fork and “Buy Local” to slow food and hand-made artisan breads, more people than ever are demanding real food made with real ingredients by real people. Widely referred to as “cottage food legislation,” over forty-two states and many Canadian provinces have enacted latest legislation that encourages home cooks to create and sell numerous “non-hazardous” food items, steadily defined as those that are high-acid, like pickles, or low moisture, like breads or cookies. In any case, “homemade” and “fresh from the oven” on the package can mean exactly what it says.

Homemade for Sale is the first authoritative guide to conceiving and launching your own home-based food start-up. Packed with profiles of successful cottage food entrepreneurs, this comprehensive and accessible resource covers everything you wish to have to get cooking for your customers, creating items that by their very nature are specialized and unique. Topics covered include:

  • Product development and testing
  • Marketing and developing your niche
  • Structuring your business and planning for the future
  • Managing liability, risk, and government regulations

You can sign up for a growing movement of entrepreneurs starting small food businesses from their home. No capital needed, just good recipes, enthusiasm, and commitment, plus enough know-how to turn fresh ingredients into sought-after treats for your local community. Everything required is probably already in your house kitchen. Best of all, you’ll start the next day!
