Do you know the ins and outs of selling homemade food in Ohio? Join Family and Consumer Sciences Food Safety Field Specialist Nicole Arnold, Assistant Professor Emily Marrison, and former Ohio Dept. of Ag inspector Katie Stolte-Carroll, for monthly virtual Q&A sessions to engage with new and experienced home-based food producers. Each webinar will briefly introduce various topics and allow time for discussion.
This activity is on behalf of a USDA NIFA Food Safety Outreach Training grant supporting the safety and regulatory components of cottage foods and home bakery products (i.e., foods that can be produced in home kitchens and sold to the public).
Each virtual Q&A session will begin with a 5–10-minute presentation. You can listen in or ask questions. These virtual webinars solely pertain to foods approved to be made at home (in Ohio) with the intention to sell them (e.g., cottage foods and home bakery products).
The monthly virtual Q&A sessions are Thursdays, 12–1 p.m.
July 25 – What foods can be home-produced?
Aug. 29 – Who is a home baker or cottage food producer?
Sept. 26 – Where can I sell my products?
Oct. 31 – When should I reach out for help?
Nov. 14 – Holiday food production
