In this episode, we walk through the basics of starting a cottage food business in a way that feels doable and not overwhelming. Even if you are making charcuterie... you too can easily sell other things from home. We talk about what we can legally sell, what rules we need to pay attention to, and the simple steps we can take to set things up the right way from the start.

We also share real-world tips from our own experience—like choosing the right products, keeping our kitchen organized, preparing for markets or events, and making sure we stay compliant with local laws. Our goal is to make cottage food business ownership feel clear, encouraging, and totally possible for all of us.

In this episode of Charcuterie & Cottage Food Biz, we dive deep into the world of food labels, and trust us, it’s more exciting (and important!) than it sounds. Whether you’re selling charcuterie boxes, cupcakes, or tamales, pre-packaged charcuterie, your labels do double duty: they keep you compliant with cottage food laws and help you build a brand that sticks in your customers’ minds.

We cover everything from ingredient lists, allergens, and safe packaging to the fun side of making your labels pop with logos, Canva templates, QR codes, and Avery hacks. We even share some behind-the-scenes laughs—like experimenting with AI design apps that gave us 90s hairdos and giant bow “mustaches.”

Most importantly, you’ll walk away knowing how to:

• Stay compliant with cottage food labeling rules
• Create professional, waterproof labels without overspending
• Use branding elements (logos, websites, QR codes) to drive repeat sales
• Package small items when a sticker just won’t fit
• Leverage tools like Canva, Avery, and even Apps to make the process easier
• Turn every product label into a mini billboard for your business

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the label requirements—or you’ve been hand-writing ingredient lists at midnight—this one’s for you. Let’s make your packaging work smarter, not harder, so you can sell more all week long (not just at the farm stand).
