Hey there—Molly Bravo here. If you’ve ever dreamed of turning your simmering jars and pickled pretties into real income, this is your green‑light moment. I’ve mapped out the exact MEHKO steps I took—checking if the county says “yes,” nailing the permit papers, and breezing through food‑safety certs—so you can open a legal, thriving home kitchen without the overwhelm.
Inside the guide, I’ll show you how to:
- Craft a crave‑worthy menu that fits MEHKO rules and wows your neighbors.
- Can, pickle, and preserve like a pro so your product line (and profit) stretches past one‑day meals.
- Tap into our mentorship—from live classes to my new cookbook dropping August 5—to fast‑track your success.
We’re talking real numbers, real compliance, and a community cheering you on every sticky‑sweet step of the way. Ready to monetize your craft and keep food tradition alive for the next generation? Grab your ladle—let’s build your cottage kitchen empire together.
