Violet Wexley Cottage Food Compliance Guide

Stop guessing what your state actually requires — and stop trusting a random blog post to tell you.

Cottage food law is set entirely at the state level, and it changes more than most people expect. This isn't a state-by-state answer key, because anyone selling you one of those is either out of date or wrong for your state specifically. This is the actual research framework — the five questions every state's law answers, a worksheet to record your state's real answers once you've checked, and a system for staying current instead of finding out the hard way that something changed.

What's inside:

• The five questions every cottage food law addresses — what you can sell, where you can sell it, sales caps, registration and permits, and labeling requirements — explained in plain language
• A fillable State Research Worksheet to record your own state's actual answers, with a source and date-checked field
• Guidance on where to actually look — state agencies, not aggregator sites, as your source of truth
• A separate Business Registration Checklist — DBA, EIN, sales tax permit, local licensing, insurance — since cottage food registration and general business registration are two different things
• A built-in Review Log, because these rules change and a compliance check from two years ago isn't a compliance check anymore

What's included:

• The Cottage Food Compliance Guide (PDF — 3 pages, print-ready)
