Home cooking businesses are probably the oldest and first type of businesses that ever existed!

I’ve seen so many home cooking & baking businesses around me thrive and becoming very successful!

If running your own home cooking business is something you want to do, go for it!

You don’t need to be a certified cook! You don’t need to know everything about opening and running a company. A lot is learned by simply doing!

You also have enough material to start! You are already cooking and eating every day! Start with what you have and grow as you are getting more customers. You absolutely do not need any capital to start with! What you have in your kitchen today is enough!

Packaging is very easy to find online and nutritional labels are very easy to make as well:

Create & Generate Nutrition Labels | Nutritional Label Creator Software | Recipe Costing | Inventory Management | ReciPal

The best way to get your name out there is to sell to family & friends first!

I also love Local Markets! Most of them are amazing with a great community! The best way to turn your hobby into a part-time or even full-time job, is to consider starting with your local farmer’s markets. This is a great way to test the waters, listen to customer feedback and learn more about what products sell the best!

Most markets have a website where you can apply. Otherwise, attend the market and ask to speak to a market manager. Most vendors require you to sell your own handmade products.

The majority of farmers’ markets will not charge any application fees. In general, you should only have to pay for your rental spot!
