Who We Are
OUR Story
From Confusion to Clarity
We started our cottage food business during the pandemic, like so many others looking for a creative outlet and a way to make ends meet. What began as a simple idea—selling homemade goods from our kitchen—quickly became overwhelming when we tried to understand the laws and regulations.
Every state seemed to have different rules. Income limits, licensing requirements, allowed foods, labeling regulations—it was a maze of legal jargon and conflicting information. We spent weeks researching, reading through government websites, and trying to piece together what we needed to do to start legally.
Why We Built This
After finally navigating the confusing landscape of cottage food laws, we realized that countless other aspiring food entrepreneurs were facing the same challenges. We decided to create the resource we wished we'd had when we started.
CottageFoodLicense.com was born from a simple mission: make it easy for anyone to understand their state's cottage food laws and start their home food business with confidence. No more spending weeks researching. No more confusion about what's allowed. Just clear, straightforward information.
