I have become a member of the NCFAlliance.
💡 Did you know that Washington State has one of the most restrictive cottage food laws in the US?
I use safe tested recipes for all of my jams, but the state requires specific sugar levels and I am not allowed to make low sugar jams, despite extensive safety testing by Ball and the National Center for Home Canning.
I’m also prohibited from selling in stores or restaurants, so the only way I can make sales is direct to customer at farmers markets or if you reach out to me directly. This prevents my small business from growing.
If you are interested in learning how you can help change Washington State Cottage Food laws, please stop by my booth today at the Arlington Farmers Market to learn more. Or reach out to me here anytime.
