Selling from home in Georgia? Here's what you need to know before you scale. 🏡➡️🏢
Georgia's cottage food law got friendlier in July 2025. The state license and fee are gone, and home bakers can now sell to retailers like grocery stores and restaurants. That's great news for getting started. 🙌
But cottage food has limits:
⚠️ It only covers certain low-risk foods, so many items that need temperature control (like prepared meals and catering) generally don't qualify
⚠️ You can't ship your products out of state
⚠️ Cities and counties can still apply local rules, like business licensing and zoning
⚠️ Your home kitchen is still your production line, with one oven, limited fridge space, and no room to grow
When orders start outgrowing your kitchen, PREP® Atlanta is the next step. 🔑
