from home kitchen to legal home bakery.
Crosodo is a cottage food resource that helps home bakers legally sell what they bake — a free 50-state cottage food law directory, a 3,100+ county zoning library, and step-by-step permit guides that take you from first batch to licensed business.
what crosodo does.
free 50-state cottage food law directory
Every U.S. state's cottage food rules in one place — sales caps, permits, allowed foods, and labeling requirements. The outcome: know your state's rules in minutes, without digging through contradictory blog posts and outdated PDFs.
3,100+ county zoning library
Municipal zoning rules are the layer most home bakers don't even know to look for — and permits are issued locally, not by the state. The outcome: catch the county-level gotchas before they catch you.
permit guide 101
A $26 step-by-step walkthrough of your county's actual permit paperwork — which forms, which office, in what order. The outcome: go from “where do I even start?” to filed.
state law reports & label packets
Deeper dives for bakers who want the paperwork done right: a $44 full-length state law report and a $12 50-state label packet. The outcome: labels and filings that hold up at the farmers market and beyond.
unlimited pass
One $97 payment for lifetime access to the full report library — 51 state license guides, county permit guides, and the label packet. The outcome: everything Crosodo publishes, forever, with no subscription.
Crosodo also makes a small apparel line for cottage bakers at crosodo.com/shop.
what makes crosodo different.
the 50-state directory is free — really free
No paywall, no account, no “free preview.” The rules themselves belong to everyone, so unlike paywalled legal-info products, Crosodo keeps the full directory open.
county-level, not just state-level
3,100+ counties of zoning coverage. Most resources stop at the state line, but your permit is issued by your county — so that's where Crosodo goes.
accountable to a real company
Crosodo is published by Terahertz, Inc. — a real company with a real support inbox, not an anonymous content farm. When the law is the product, accountability is the quality signal.
a path, not a pile of PDFs
Free directory, then the county check, then Permit Guide 101, then the Unlimited Pass when you're all in. Start free and pay only when you want the walkthrough — the pricing follows the baker's journey.
honest, one-time pricing
$26 for Permit Guide 101 ($13 with the 50% code), $97 lifetime for the Unlimited Pass. No subscriptions, no contracts, no renewal surprises — buy it once, keep it.
who uses crosodo.
- Home bakers asking “can I legally sell this?” before their first market day

the company behind crosodo.
Crosodo is operated by Terahertz, Inc., based in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, Virginia.
Crosodo started as a question: why is starting a home baking business so much harder than the actual baking? Cottage food law was buried under contradictory blog posts and outdated PDFs — so we built the resource we wished existed.

frequently asked questions.
Is the cottage food law directory really free?
Yes. Every state page and the 3,100+ county zoning library are free to read, with no account and no paywall. Paid guides exist for bakers who want step-by-step help with the paperwork, but the rules themselves are free.
What's the difference between the free directory and Permit Guide 101?
The directory tells you the rules; Permit Guide 101 ($26) walks you through your county's actual permit paperwork step by step — which forms, which office, and in what order. Start with the free directory, and get the guide when you're ready to file.
Is Crosodo legal advice?
No. Crosodo is an educational resource built from public agency sources. Cottage food law changes, so always verify the latest rules with your county health department, city clerk, or a local attorney before you sell.
How do I get help with my state's rules?
Email [email protected]. The inbox is read and answered by the Crosodo team — real humans, not a ticket queue.
What does the Unlimited Pass include?
The Unlimited Pass is a one-time $97 payment for lifetime access to the full report library: 51 state license guides, county permit guides, and the 50-state label packet. Pay once, keep everything, no subscription.
Do you still sell t-shirts?
Yes — a small apparel line for cottage bakers lives at crosodo.com/shop. But the core of Crosodo is the permit path: the free directory, the county library, and the guides that take a home baker from home kitchen to legal home bakery.
your home bakery starts with the rules.
Read your state's page free, check your county, then get the permit walkthrough when you're ready to file.
