Can I sell baked goods from home in Indiana?

Indiana has a Home-Based Vendor law that exists for exactly this: certain homemade foods, made in a home kitchen, sold direct to the person eating them. That's the framework the farmers-market bakers and the honey-and-eggs stands operate under.

The homework is in the details, and they matter: which foods are covered (the line generally runs along how risky a food is when it isn't refrigerated), where you're allowed to sell, and how it has to be labeled. We're not going to paraphrase the statute into something that sounds like permission — read the law itself, or ask the state, before you take the first order.

What we can build is everything around it: a name people say out loud, a page that says what's coming out of the oven this week, a card reader so the folks without cash still buy, and a sign that reads from the road. That's the difference between a card table and a business.

We're builders, not lawyers — the statute's text beats every summary of it, ours included.
