Check Out Utah!


Many states have legalized the cottage sale of shelf-stable goods in recent years. Utah has gone further, passing a Home Consumption and Homemade Food Act in 2018, that allows the sale of nearly all types of homemade foods directly to the consumer. An additional reform passed in 2021, called the Microenterprise Home Kitchen Act, lets people sell home-cooked meals containing meat, but with restrictions.
Hungry consumers can now abandon overly expensive fast-food and gimmick restaurants for tastier and healthier food choices from the growing offerings presented on this website. Discover and explore new ways of rustling up your dinner and other culinary delights! Our devoted ohCm home specialty cooks, bakers and chefs are committed to the highest quality food, service and experience for everyone seeking alternatives to industrial food outlets and sloppy fast food menus.
Make friends. Share your favorite recipes. Discover the best cooks, bakers and chefs in your area by joining our community of food lovers. Create your home page any way you want it to look like! Join us.
