These days, I find myself very grateful for some oppurtunities that have presented themselves. One of them being a Monday Market where I have been selling baked goods!
I always thought my family members and friends were just being kind when they got all excited over the Banana Nut bread and other breads I make. But they really do love what I make and were serious when they advised me to go into business! Who knew?!
So now my son and I are working the Monday Market and this means 12 hours of baking on Sunday. Florida Cottage Food Laws state that a home bakery cannot have commercial ovens, but a double oven is OK. So I can bake 9 loaves an hour, and I made 90 last Sunday! Plus 10 dozen cookies. Whatever is left after the market gets split up between my CSA customers, who are loving seeing me show up each week right now! In the Spring they get fruits and veggies, in the early summer they get meats like pork and beef, and in the Fall they get jams and baked goods. All for $35 a week. Does that sound fair? Let me know what you think! And
