For all the bakers and chefs out there.

FAQ: I want to sell food made in my home, but I can’t afford to buy or
build a commercial kitchen. I want to make some extra money. How do I make this work?

A: There are a few options for selling homemade food without spending a lot of money on a commercial kitchen. The Home-based Food Production Law, also known as the “Cottage Law,” allows certain foods that do not require time or temperature control to be sold without inspection or a permit. These are generally baked goods (without cream fillings), candies, cookies, and most breads.
Another option is a shared-use kitchen. These specially designated commercial
kitchens are operated by a person who rents time and space in
the establishment and allows you to have a permit using their
kitchen.
You can learn more about cottage food law and shared use kitchens at https://agriculture.sc.gov/faq/retail-food/

Today, we pause to honor the courageous men and women of the United States Armed Forces who gave their lives in service to our nation. Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day began after the Civil War as communities gathered to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers and flags. What started as a tribute to those lost in one conflict has grown into a national day of honor for all Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving our country.
