Cottage Food:

turning your home cooking into a career

On episode 9 of We Form The Future, we hear from food entrepreneur Zachary Hurdle.

Zachary creates homemade delicious foods out of his own home and uses spaces in commercial kitchens. He talks to us about the growing field of Cottage Food, a way for home cooks and bakers to sell their creations to their neighbors and at markets. This is happening at the same time as an emerging trend, Cottagecore, which focuses on idealised rural life, self-sufficiency, and traditional skills. Cottagecore is centered around the period from the 1900s-1950s, and it is largely seen through a white and colonial lens and one of privilege during that time. Zachary shows us that anyone with a passion can make Cottage Food and gives us advice on how to get started in the industry.
