Restaurant News Cottage food businesses ready to serve you for the holidays

Cottage food businesses in Edmonds are preparing for the upcoming holiday season, offering a variety of delectable baked goods. The Cottage Bakery, founded by Conor O’Neill in 2018, transformed from a small driveway operation into a storefront in Perrinville by December 2021. Miss Semi Sweet, established by Morgan Bradley and Cher Myers in 2025, started as a YouTube channel and now operates a licensed cottage kitchen. Washington State's cottage food laws permit residents to create non-hazardous foods from their home kitchens, encouraging local entrepreneurship. These businesses often require advance pre-orders and participate in local markets, enhancing community connections.

Many residents have embraced these local offerings, turning to their neighbors for holiday treats. The growth of these cottage food businesses highlights a trend toward supporting small, local enterprises. Such initiatives not only provide tasty options but also promote a sense of community spirit.
