Big changes to cottage food laws (your state might surprise you)
|
Hey Reader Something big has been happening with cottage food laws across the country, and I wanted to make sure you saw it. In the last year alone, multiple states have raised their revenue caps, expanded online sales, and started allowing perishable foods from home kitchens for the first time. Texas jumped to $150K. Florida is at $250K. Nine states now let you sell refrigerated foods. I just published a full breakdown: 👉 Cottage Food Laws by State: The Complete 2026 Guide Here's what's inside: • A 10-state comparison chart so you can see how your state stacks up • The 5 variables every cottage food law is built on • 5 mistakes that actually get home food businesses shut down • A 50-state directory with every agency's phone number and website • A free downloadable startup checklist you can fill in for your state This one took a while to put together, and I'm genuinely proud of it. If you know someone who's been thinking about selling food from home — or someone who's already doing it and isn't sure they're doing it right — I'd love it if you'd forward this email or share the link. This is the kind of information that can save someone a lot of headaches (and maybe a few fines). Enjoy the journey. ~Stacey |

Hey friend, Much of the country is getting hit with an Arctic blast this weekend. That usually means staying put, staying warm, and having a little extra quiet time to think. I just published a new article on Small Business Predictions for 2026, and this weekend feels like a pretty good moment to read it. Not because it’s doom-and-gloom (it’s not), but because change is speeding up—and small business owners deserve a clearer, calmer way to think about what’s coming. The short version: AI is...
