Registration now open for What's New In Cottage Food with our friends at MSU Extension! 🎉

This free educational webinar, hosted by Michigan State University, informs home-based entrepreneurs about significant legal updates affecting the cottage food industry. The webinar will highlight revisions to sales regulations, including increased revenue limits and a broader range of approved distribution methods for homemade goods. A major feature of the presentation is the introduction of a voluntary registration system that allows small businesses to obtain a unique registration number to expand their labeling options.
