Sourdough is the breakout home-baking story of the decade, and it is also one of the friendliest foods to sell legally. Bread is shelf-stable and squarely cottage-food legal in nearly every state, so the only thing between your starter and steady orders is an easy way for neighbors to find and buy your loaves.
Chefry gives you a clean storefront for your loaves, focaccia, and weekly bake list, with online checkout and local discovery built in. You keep the full price of every loaf, because menu orders are 0% commission to you, and you get paid daily for completed orders.

From a hobby starter to a weekly bake list
Most home bakers give loaves away or sell a few to friends, then never grow past it. A Chefry storefront turns your bake day into a real routine: regulars pre-order their loaf for Saturday pickup, neighbors grab focaccia for dinner, and gift shoppers order a bread-and-jam set, all from one link you can drop in your bio or hand out at the farmers market. The marketplace also surfaces you to local buyers looking for real, slow-fermented bread.

Is it legal to sell sourdough from home?
Yes, in essentially every state. Bread is shelf-stable and non-hazardous, which makes it one of the original "approved" cottage foods, usually the first thing a cottage food list allows. Most states let you bake and sell loaves from your home kitchen with simple labeling (ingredients, allergens like wheat, net weight, and your kitchen info), and sometimes a short food-safety course or free registration. No commercial kitchen is required to start. Always confirm your state's cottage food list and labeling rules; Chefry publishes state-by-state guides.
Labeling, pickup, and freshness
Bag loaves in paper or food-safe bags with a label that lists ingredients, allergens, net weight, and your information, and date each bake. Bread is best fresh, so most bakers run a weekly bake day with local pickup or porch handoff, and offer shipping only where it makes sense. Chefry handles the order and checkout so you just bake, bag, and hand off.

Frequently asked questions
Is selling homemade sourdough legal?
Yes, in essentially every state. Bread is shelf-stable and non-hazardous, so it is one of the original cottage foods, often the first item a state cottage food list allows. Most states let you sell loaves from your home kitchen with proper labeling and sometimes a short food-safety course or registration. Confirm your state cottage food rules to be sure.
Do I need a license to sell sourdough bread?
Most states only require you to follow their cottage food rules: proper labeling with ingredients and allergens, sometimes a simple registration or a short food-safety course. A full commercial license and a commercial kitchen usually are not required for shelf-stable bread. Check your state cottage food program for the specifics.
How should I price a sourdough loaf?
Home bakers commonly charge $8 to $15 for a classic loaf, with flavored or inclusion loaves at $12 to $18 and weekly subscriptions priced per week or month. Price for your time, your ingredients, and a long ferment rather than matching the grocery store.
Can I sell sourdough starter or discard bakes too?
Yes. Many bakers list active starter, starter kits, and discard bakes like crackers, cookies, and bagels alongside their loaves. List each as its own item with pickup or delivery options, and the customer pays online before you bake.
How much does it cost to sell sourdough on Chefry?
Chefry is free to list with no monthly fee, and loaf and menu orders are 0% commission to you (a 5% customer-paid service fee and standard Stripe processing of 2.9% + 30 cents apply). The first 200 chefs pay 0% on every order type for their first year.
