Selling Bread
Turn your home baking into income, from cottage law to farmers market.
Overview
There's a moment every serious home baker reaches. The neighbors keep asking. The orders pile up. Then the question hits. Should you start charging? This page is built for that moment. It covers the real mechanics of selling bread legally and profitably from a home kitchen. Cottage food laws by state, pricing your loaves so you actually make money, building a market booth that draws customers, and scaling without burning out. You'll also find lessons from the Academy's From Oven to Market course, member case studies, and the tools Henry uses to run a home bread business himself.
