What is a Home Bakery?

Ditch the Mix home bakery-baking utensils and ingredients

 A home bakery is a home-based bakery business that operates out of a residential kitchen (with one oven, stove and fridge) in order to make baked goods.

Home bakeries are inspected and licensed by the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Division of Food Safety for cleanliness, safety and proper labeling of all bakery items. Additionally, this inspection includes, but is not limited to, surveying for the proper storage of perishable and non-perishable ingredients, assessing the water supply, and monitoring the refrigerator temperature.

Only after completing the inspection and licensing process is a home bakery permitted to sell and distribute bakery products, such as cookies, breads, brownies, cakes, fruit pies, cheesecakes, cream pies, custard pies, pumpkin pies; etc. 

   

 Ditch the Mix is a licensed home bakery and has been operating as such since 2020
