Before hanging a shingle selling food items be sure to check the laws about this. Know what your risk and liability is especially shipping to another state or especially another country. There are low risk and high risk foods. Just this year there are new bills on the table concerning this. Imagine if one of your products made a human or dog sick simply by mistake?

Just check. This is what I do. I work with farmers and people in agricultural. Tax wise farms or home producers are entitled to sell a certain amount because hitting a tax bracket or having to apply for USDA inspections. Know what YOUR laws are.

You may want to think about bartering. This reduces your liability.

In the states in order for any producer to sell canned goods to the general public it must be prepared in a certified kitchen. These kitchens are inspected. You can contact your local extension office or even local usda branches to see which kitchens are inspected and that rent out the kitchen for prepared food. It doesn't have to be scary at all. They may even already have a group where you all come together and rent the space and can together.

So if you have love for cooking and preserving this is actually a great way to make extra cash. With a few simple steps you can sell your food items in stores, markets and all kinds of places.

Is this scarf crocheted?? It's gorgeous. I always thought I'd have to learn to knit to make scarves that nice. I'd LOVE the pattern if you're willing to share?

yes it's crocheted, sort of and of course i will share!

its something i learned called *tunisian crochet*, It's part crochet and part knitting. i promise that if you try it, you will LOVE IT!!! i learned from you tube so check it out.

The needle is a crochet hook with a stopper, so you can load your stitches onto the needle, like knitting. The steps are basically loading the stitches
then back pass unloads them.






This is a picture of a scarf in progress.




i love that one skein makes a scarf and i can take it with me when i am out and about!
