The Slice is Right! Pricing Your Cottage Goods for Profit is officially done, and honestly? This one was so good. Pricing is the topic I get asked about more than anything else and it's great to enter it together as a community.

If you missed it, I do offer this workshop quarterly, but if you just can't wait--no worries! The replay is live now for all Founding Makers.

🌎 Big News: The National Cottage Food Alliance 🌎

This is HUGE for our community and I am so excited about it.

The National Cottage Food Alliance (NCFA) has officially formed; a national organization dedicated to advocating for cottage food makers across the country. This is exactly the kind of momentum our industry needs and I couldn't be more here for it.

If you're serious about your cottage food business, this is an organization worth following and supporting. They'll be at the forefront of policy changes, legal updates, and advocacy efforts that directly impact what you can sell and how you can grow. ALSO -- education and resources specifically for cottage food pros, just like YOU.

👉 Follow them on Instagram and stay in the loop. This movement is just getting started.

I'm not ready to spill just yet, but there is a major announcement coming very soon, and trust me. You're going to want to be the first to know.

The best way to make sure you don't miss it? Follow @cottage_af on Instagram. That's where it's dropping first.

🍪 Because It's Summer and We Deserve Pretty Cookies 🍪

In between all the big moves happening over here, I've also been in the kitchen doing what I love, and these pool themed cookies made with my Little Blue Printer are giving me everything I need right now. 🏊‍♀️☀️

​Click Here to view the Little Blue in action!!​

Sometimes you need a reminder that at the end of the day, this all started because we love making beautiful, delicious things. Never lose that.
