Free for every home baker
Start a home bakery — the free toolkit
Four free tools that fit together into one path — price what you bake, label it legally, give neighbors a page to find, and keep an honest eye on what you make. Start anywhere; here’s the order most bakers follow.
- Price a recipe
1Pricing calculator
Cost a batch, get a fair price that actually pays you — and see what you’re earning per hour. Save each recipe by name.
- Make a label
2Cottage food label maker
Your state’s legally required label, built as you type and print-ready for Avery sheets. Free, no signup.
- List your porch — always free
3Your porch shop page
A free page neighbors can find — your menu, photos, and pickup window. Import the recipes you priced as menu items.
- Track a day
4Profit tracker
Log each sale day in three jars — pay the business back, pay yourself, watch the grow jar fill. Track item by item to see your top sellers.
Want the whole path, step by step?
Each of these tools does one job; the home bakery guide for your state is the walkthrough that strings them together — from “I wonder if I could” to your first ten neighbors. The tools stay free either way.
The legal side is free too: your state’s cottage food laws, in plain English.
