Learn how to land your first customer and try your hand at selling a basic Bundt cake. If you don't want to bake, join Foodpreneurs Online and take to the instructor of How to Start a Home Food Business the Right Way about selling other products produced in your home kitchen.

Feeling a bit OVERWHELMED?

  • I totally get it.

  • I felt the same way when I started my catering business and The Charlotte Pie Authority. Yep! Two businesses.

  • Will my customers buy my products?

  • Is the price too high? Is it too low?

  • What if no one buys anything?

  • How do I get my customers to learn about me?

  • Are my products going to be good enough?

  • What do I do after the first sale?

  • How do I find more customers?

  • Do I need a website and do I have to do the social media stuff?

It should be EXCITING knowing you are going to sell out!

Over the last twenty years, I have created & implemented various strategies to see which works best.

What have I learned?

There is more than one way to launch a business and sell your products, and it is about finding the right strategy that feels ALIGNED to you.

So I want to save you from feeling overwhelmed and spending hundreds of hours of launch prep for it not to work...

Here’s what we will be covering:

  • Verifying your product

  • Using a home kitchen for processing

  • Safely producing foods

  • Licensing and zoning

  • Safe water requirements

  • Developing a business plan

  • Labeling requirement

  • The rules and processes for starting your food business

  • Promotion of your products

  • Finding your target audience

  • Selecting a profitable product or testing the waters with one of our recipes.

  • Taking your product to market

  • Social media basics and best practices

  • Create a plan to make more than 1K per month

The course is comprehensive and designed to walk you through the introductory stages of home food processing. I encourage you to return, ask questions and get help with the development of your home-based food business. I also want you to join Foodpreneur Online, a private Facebook Group that supports the course.

See you in class!

Detra 'Denay' Davis, the Founder of Foodpreneur Institute, an Online Educational Center for home food processors. She believes in the potential of all people to achieve their educational, professional, and entrepreneurial goals as small scale food producers.

As the Lead Online Instructor, her goal is to educate and support adults on their path to economic success. I offer industry-specific information about Cottage Food Operations and Home-based food production via a specialized knowledge base of resources, podcasts, and online courses.

Denay delivers traditional and online courses, business coaching, and webinars. As a small food business, it’s important to have the right resources at your fingertips.

The Foodpreneur Institute team has assembled the tools you need – from web consulting to private and group coaching. The Institute's mission is to ignite opportunity by helping Cottage Food Operators take their products from the kitchen to market. What set's the Foodpreneur Institute apart from the competition? We work with small mom and pop shops and micro food businesses. Those who want to remain a family business, making a difference in their community.

We all know there has been a rising demand for locally produced food across the United States. You happen to live in one of the best Cottage Food states in the U. S. There are currently 49 states with some form of Cottage Food Law or Rule. Food production is limited to non-hazardous food but under that umbrella is a host of products.
