Turn your passion for cooking or baking into a business with confidence. In this comprehensive 90-minute hybrid workshop, Laura Wood-Romito of the MSU Product Center, in partnership with TechTown Detroit, will guide aspiring food entrepreneurs through the essentials of launching a compliant home-based food business under Michigan’s Cottage Food Law.
Participants will gain a clear understanding of which non-perishable foods can be sold, packaging and labeling requirements, food safety considerations, and approved direct-to-consumer sales channels. Whether you’re just exploring the idea or ready to start selling your products, you’ll leave with practical knowledge, valuable resources, and actionable next steps to confidently bring your kitchen creations to market.
