The Kentucky legislature has officially passed the Cottage Foods bill to authorize home bakery licenses. Your commitment to this cause made it possible for small business owners to operate from their own kitchens. We will now turn our attention to monitoring the implementation process managed by the Department of Agriculture.

there are so many skilled women and men in ky that could add economic growth to the state as well as to generate taxes paid in from the sale of their products . The cottage law needs to be amended to allow these people to work lawfully.
In the city I live in the only place to buy Baked goods at the local grocery which is frozen cakes that are shopped in. To get a Specialty Baked Good that would say be Gluten or Nut Free there is no where to buy. We need to get Kentucky Laws changed on Cottage Baking.
Small town home bakers are artisans. We all don't live in close proximity to grocers that do bakery cakes and artisan breads. I love to cook but baking and decorating is not something i do. License then for home producers. Keep small business alive in rural America.
As I have been unable to find work outside of the home since moving to Kentucky, this law would greatly benefit my family. I would be able to earn income and help support my family without reliance on public programs.
I would love to sell my baked goods, but I can't because it is illegal in this state. I have friends who would love to sell their baked goods. I would hope that Kentucky would recognize the value home bakers bring to the term Kentucky Proud.
I would love if this passed.
Has anything been done yet . I discovered about 5 years ago that I could bake and have a passion for it. I get more out of it when people say man that's good or that's the best I've ever had. It's bad to discover that you have a talent at 64 and 5 years later told that you can't do that and that you can't even give it away. It was going to cost me over $20,000. to get legal and I don't do grease. Help!!!!!!!!!!!

We just had 2 great bakers shut down in their home. Their kitchens are cleaner then most restaurants! But without this law they can not bake from home! They are trying to support their family by working in the kitchen at night and being home for their kids in the day!
