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.
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.
