Residents question Michigan’s Cottage Food Law
LAPEER, Mich—Michigan’s updated Cottage Food Law went into effect on March 24 of this year, increasing the gross income caps from $25,000 to $75,000 per household for most products. The updates came following the passing of House Bill 4122, which was signed by Governor Whitmer in December of 2025. It also allows for a seller’s income to adjust with inflation each year. One of the more notable features of the update was the creation of a voluntary registration system. Those who choose to register their business can pay a one-time registration fee of $50. This then allows them to use a registration number and their contact information, in place of their home address on the required labels on their products.
