Agreed. I thought about trying to sell my soups locally. But I have 3 different commercial kitchens I could have rented from. But you’re right. Some just say screw it.

At one point some of my jellies and salsa were a real hit at the market. I had a couple of stores interested in carrying them. I ended up not doing it though because after I crunched the numbers on the costs moving into that realm (more regulations and commercial cert) it would have had to have been a full time job to make it worthwhile. I thought about it pretty seriously and decided that I didn’t want to do it full-time.

Now though because I live on a farm property I can make and sell pretty much anything that I produce at the farm as long as it doesn’t go past the gate. So technically I could have my own farm store with all those sorts of things in it and not have to do all of that other stuff. For instance I can sell my eggs in my driveway but it’s illegal for me to walk them 1/2 a mile down the road and sell them at the weekly farmers market.
