This law will help create jobs for people who are out of work and for those who stay at home with their children.Cottage food laws, which exist in over half of the U.S. states and in every region of the country, open up new possibility for small-scale enterprise and localized food production.Removing the significant financial and logistical barrier of having a commercial kitchen makes starting one’s own community-based food business more feasible for a greater number of people. It also gives consumers access to a greater variety of home-cooked locally-produced foods.This law will also add protection for those who have store front bakeries who would be able to conduct business from home if something were to happen to their business or should their business revenues start todeclinedue to changes in the economy.

Watching these numbers climb reminds me of the nights I spent worrying about my own kitchen business before I realized how many others needed this same change. We are almost at one thousand signatures and this momentum is exactly what the state legislature needs to see from us right now. Please tell your neighbors about this campaign today so we can hit that milestone and force them to pay attention.

My own kitchen is where I started dreaming of a bakery, and seeing all of you join me brings us so near to our first hundred signatures. Please send this link to a few neighbors so we can hit that milestone today and show our legislators that we are serious.

I need to supplement my income as my husband is out of work. I truly enjoy making cupcakes and would appreciate the opportunity to sell my product to help with our monthly bills. Thank you.
A Cottage Foods bill would enable those that have limited funds to start their business on a small scale. I have been trying to figure out how i can justify the financial output required for a commercial kitchen when I plan on baking 1-2 cakes per week. This amendment would create an opportunity for myself and countless others.
I was the Pie Lady at the Osceola Wi farmers market until I was told I could not sell there because I do not have a commercial kitchen. A lot of people were disappointed as I make a mean pie. One of my pies sold for $100 at a raffle. Have been selling pies for eleven years and thought maybe they would grand father me in.
I am for a Cottage Business that allows for Home Bakers to sell their products as mentioned in this bill. I would also like to see that everyone having this opportunity, would have to have a Sanitation Permit from the state. This would teach them the safety of food preparation, and cleanliness in the kitchen.
This law would be a dream come true. I am a mother of a beautiful 2 year old daughter, and my heart breaks everytime I drop her off at daycare. I would love to be able to provide some sort of additional income, and be able to stay home with her. This would allow me to do so... PLEASE consider passing this law.
There is no reason why people shouldn’t be allowed to produce and sell baked goods. I love going to farmers markets the have baked goods.
Please pass this!

PLEASE replace the ridiculous law of Commercial Kitchens. We're small time folks, trying to provide nutritious and less preservatives in our home baked goods PLEASE enact Home Bakery licenses to folks who want to bake from their homes.
