One-stop cottage food starter

Free permit walk-through, free label generation, free checklist

Pick your state, answer a few plain-English questions, and we’ll turn the official rules into something you can actually use: a permit walk-through, a label draft, and a checklist you can print or save as PDF.

Open Washington tool

Built from public state guidance. Informational only, not legal advice, and not a state approval or filing service.

Free permit walk-through

We surface the sales-channel, refrigeration, and product-type choices that can block a standard cottage food path before you waste time on labels or paperwork.

Free label generation

Product name, ingredients, allergens, permit details, and disclosure language all get assembled into a printable label draft you can review.

Free checklist

The tool keeps the checklist tied to your own answers, then gives you a print-ready customized version after the walk-through.
