Homegrown has MASSIVE quantities of oranges now-June, so we are opening up the opportunity for individuals to make food in your own kitchen under the Arizona cottage food program, as well as homemade cleaning products, and sell them easily through Homegrown.
This is a perfect job for anyone who loves being in their kitchen and wants to work on their own schedule, but doesn’t love the business side of selling their products and managing a business.
We are making:
👉 Fruit jams & jellies, dried orange zest, and some other “approved” items under Arizona’s Cottage Food program
👉 Natural skin exfoliators, bug sprays, and surface cleaners
At the bottom of this page you’ll find our recipes to inspire you!
