The best food in your neighborhood
might be in your kitchen.
Cottage food laws are a state-by-state maze. Pick your state and what you want to sell, and we'll show you in 30 seconds whether it's allowed, what permits you need, and what your revenue cap is — straight from the statute. Start free, then add the member workspace and higher-tier tools when your business needs them.

People Food, Pet Treats, or Food Freedom? We Have You Covered.
Choose your path and we will walk you through exactly what you need.
Food for People
Baked goods, jams, honey, pickles, sauces. We show you exactly what your state allows and how to get started from your home kitchen.
Treats for Pets
Dog treats, cat treats, pet snacks. We break down your state requirements so you do not have to figure it out alone.
Food Freedom States
Some states go further than standard cottage-food rules with Food Freedom laws — broader product lists, direct-to-consumer sales, and (often) no revenue cap. The rules still apply; the catalog of what you can sell just gets bigger.
