If you are getting a Homesteading vibe, you would be right!
What is “Cottage Food Law” you ask? Simply, it allows entrepreneurs to make and sell lower risk home-produced food products. Gallia Soil and Water Conservation District, Gallia County Farm Bureau, Gallia County Health Department, and Gallia OSU Extension are teaming up to help you walk through the process of making and selling your goods safely and responsibly in Ohio!
When: Thursday, April 3, 2025 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
Where: C.H. McKenzie Ag Center, 111 Jackson Pike, Gallipolis OH 45631
RSVP: Please call 740-446-6173 Ext. 3217 or register online
Also, Ohio Farm Bureau members can access the free Small-Scale Food Business Guide, created by the Farm Bureau legal team.
The Small-Scale Food Business Guide covers both federal and state regulations for selling food products such as raw meat, dairy, eggs, baked goods, cottage foods, fruits and vegetables, honey and more.
The guide provides a breakdown of the registration, licensing, processing, food safety, inspection, labeling, and any other regulatory/legal standards to be considered when running a small-scale food business. Look at this guide when starting a food business to discern what you may need to do, starting at the farm and ending at the market/consumer.
To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.
