Find the Right Place to Live and For Your Food Business in California or Another State
Your foodie Realtor® Susie Wyshak and my commercial real estate partners are ready to help and connect you.
For years, I have tracked where award winning Good Food crafters live around the United States.
Now as a REALTOR® in California with Keller Williams — where the state broadened Cottage Food Laws in 2021 and counties are approving MEHKOs (home-based meal businesses) — I am especially excited to help clients find places to live and build a home-based food business or decide if an area has the right co-packers and commercial kitchens for you. (Here’s a list of counties and more on the MEHKO laws)
If you live outside of California, I’m happy to consult with you on ideas of where to live based on your food business and connect you with local real estate agents if so desired!
How can I help? Get in touch by email, 510-269-7051, or on Facebook.

A Few Testimonials
“I contacted Susie thinking she could help in some way with planning a new retail food business in Oakland. She not only knew the landscape of the local food retailer scene, she had broad insight into trends and specialty grocery best practices across the U.S. Susie enthusiastically connected me with food leaders and other consultants in the Bay Area and offered an array of helpful business model ideas. I’d recommend her as a consultant to anyone seeking a quick start to forming their food product or retail concept ideas and getting connected.”

“Susie is one of our most valued, savvied, and super fun business partners. Since the time she discovered and tracked us down at our local farmers market, we have enjoyed her clear passion, ongoing knowledge, and eye-on-the-future view about the artisan food scene. Susie’s all about seeing the possibilities and finding opportunities. She’s been instrumental in introducing our products to Foodzie.com, live event producers, and the right retailers. We even hired Susie to help us with website content after seeing her writing chops on our Foodzie.com store, and continue to enjoy her ideas, connections, and friendship!”
