Excited that Fast Company wrote about the new California Homemade Food Act. In answer to Jenara Nerenberg‘s question: Can California’s New Law Start A Small Food Business Revolution? I say: Yes we can!
This month at the Good Food Awards confections and chocolate judging, we saw entries from hundreds of small artisan food producers from around the country. Candy and confections make the perfect food business to start at home. (Soon we may be like 1800s Germany when hundreds of marzipan makers dotted Lubeck, Germany.)
However the ability to make food at home does not a business make. You’ve had plenty of bad food made at home. I’ll be writing a lot about how to get a successful, award winning food business started at home that you might choose to keep small or use as a launching pad for growth. In California? Start by reading SELC’s FAQ or my page about California’s law.
Examples of foods you CAN make under California’s new homemade food law and most other cottage food laws. These are just some of the confections judged at the Good Food Awards this month, to be announced in January.
Examples of foods NOT qualified to make at home under California’s homemade food law (or most others for that matter!)
