About Us
We support policies that promote independence and self-sufficiency at home.
The Texas cottage food law was a major step forward for home entrepreneurs, but there is more work to be done. From home businesses, to backyard chickens, to frontyard gardens, we are here to support you and help you get the most out of your home. Our members are cottage food entrepreneurs, homesteaders, and hobby gardeners or poultry enthusiasts who want to be more productive with the resources they already have.
Our members represent the heart of Texas’s homemade food community; skilled home bakers, canners, confectioners, and cottage food entrepreneurs who take pride in their craft. Each one is committed to quality, professionalism, and serving their neighbors with thoughtfully made foods.
Their membership strengthens our mission and helps us continue advocating, educating, and expanding opportunities for every home-based food business in Texas.
As you explore the map, you’ll discover just how many talented small food producers are working in kitchens across our state. The next time you’re craving something local, handmade, and full of Texas flavor, check out which Homemade Texas members are in your area; you might be surprised by the goodness being cooked up right down the road.
