Frequently asked questions

Does this tell me which foods are legal to sell?
No. Cottage-food rules vary by jurisdiction; verify current product, processing, labeling, and sales-channel requirements.

Can I cost recipes and batches?
Yes. Costing is a central part of the workbook.

Does it include inventory?
It includes ingredient, packaging, production, and order-planning tools appropriate to this planner.

Can I use it for preserves or baked goods?
Use it for products that are permitted for your business and location.

Is it accounting software?
No. It is an operations and planning system.

Are printable worksheets included?
Yes, along with a fillable PDF and Excel workbook.

When is the flagship better?
Choose the flagship when cottage food is one of several homestead income streams you need to manage together.

This is an organizational and business-planning tool. It does not replace legal, tax, accounting, insurance, licensing, food-safety, labeling, or other professional or regulatory requirements that may apply to your business or location.
