Cottage Food Industry:
Make Money Selling Your Homemade Food
Recently passed amendments to the Food Law of 2000 define
a cottage food operation as one where a person produces or
packages nonhazardous food in a kitchen at that person’s pri-
mary domestic residence. The law permits sales of allowable
foods produced by a cottage food operation to homes, farmers
markets, roadside stands, municipal farmers markets, county
fairs, celebrations, festivals and other events. Learn how to set
up your own cottage-based industry and how the concept re-
lates to the permaculture concept. Examine what foods are al-
lowable for sale, the requirements for labels and listings. Learn
about sales records and how to plug into the network of existing
cottage food operations.

Earth Oven Workshop
This workshop serves as an introduction to the realm of natural
earth building by teaching you how to build your own low-cost,
wood-fired oven from clay, sand, straw and water. Earth ovens
bake like expensive commercial wood-fired ovens while costing
a fraction of the price, and serve beautifully for making breads,
pizza, and just about anything that can be baked or roasted.
Earth ovens use radiant, conductive and convection heat, si-
multaneously producing crisp, caramelized crust with a moist
inside. Building out of unfired clay, they can be hand-sculpted
into beautiful works of art that become wonderful additions to
any backyard or patio. You will build a miniature working model
that you can take home for a truly hands-on experience.

knives, you will also learn how to apply the same principles to
other tools. While there will be knives on hand for practice, you
should also bring knives from your kitchen to perfect your skills.

learning how to preserve vegetables through the traditional yet
