Lunch and Learn on Texas Cottage LawAre you passionate about baking, preserving, or crafting artisanal foods in your home kitchen? Are you curious about turning your culinary hobby into a small business venture? Join us for a workshop on navigating cottage food laws, where you'll learn everything you need to know to start and operate a successful home-based food business legally and safely.
Cottage food laws are regulations that allow individuals to produce certain types of food in their home kitchens and sell them directly to consumers, without needing to obtain a commercial license or use a licensed commercial kitchen. These laws vary from state to state and often have specific limitations on what types of foods can be produced, where they can be sold, and how much revenue the seller can generate.
Speaker:
Kelley Masters is the President and Founder of Homemade Texas. Kelley's citizen activism led to the filing of the first Texas Cottage Food Bill in 2009. When the 2009 bill died, she redoubled her efforts, starting the Texas Baker’s Bill Facebook page in 2010 and working tirelessly toward the ultimate passage of the first cottage food law in 2011 and every subsequent expansion. She has spent countless hours mustering grassroots and media support, working with legislators and special interest groups, and has probably delivered more homemade cookies to the Texas State Capitol than any person in history. She is a paralegal for a local law firm and lives in central Texas with her husband, 3 children, 2 dogs, and 10 chickens. Homemade Texas is a natural extension of her decade-long involvement in the local food movement.
