Hi Friend,
Happy Thursday, food freedom friend! Now that the Profitable Farm Workshops are well underway, we are returning to our regularly scheduled twice monthly News Digests. There are still a few tickets left for the Profitable Farm Workshops in Oregon on July 7 and in Kentucky on August 10 if you'd like to join us.
We're very excited to introduce you to the Cottage Foods Map and Chart, which explains how you can legally sell cottage foods in your state.

Have a real-food-filled week!
