My understanding is that it has been approved by the house on enterprises with up to $15,000 in sales. On its way to the senate.

I have been teaching food processing for the Wake Public School Lifelong Learning Program and I can tell you that a cottage food law will help many unemployed citizens make ends meet and provide for their families. There is a website that speaks to the needs of home baker who want to sell their baked goods so they continue to learn safe food processing practices and operate with the rule and guidelines of their state regulatory agency. Food cottage laws are a good thing.

I agree I have a several gluten free homes that would like to bake and sell to me I have tasted their products and they are great. But I can’t buy from them for resale because of our laws.
