Find a home kitchen in Michigan
367 listings — by track: 82 cottage producers · 285 street vendors. Search, filter, or use your location to sort by distance.
Three tracks, three different kinds of food business. 🍳 Home Kitchen — Meals: permitted home kitchens cooking meals. 🥧 Cottage Food — Shelf-Stable: home producers of shelf-stable foods (baked goods, jams, candy) — preorder / pickup, not restaurant-style reservations. 🌮 Street Food — Sidewalk & Mobile: vendors selling in public places — they do NOT cook from home kitchens; they hold different permits and are walk-up only, with no bookings. Listings badged 🌾 Food Freedom sit under a state law broader than cottage food; in the track filter they count under Meals when they sell hot/prepared food and under Cottage when they sell shelf-stable goods.
🔒 Pins show the city or neighborhood, not exact addresses — home kitchens' exact locations stay private.

🍳 Run a home kitchen in Michigan?
Claim your listing with proof of your Michigan Cottage food law permit, license, or registration — whichever your program issues — and unlock the Owner Studio: your logo and colors, photos, menu, reviews, QR code, and booking requests.
Cottage producers: Michigan requires no permit for Cottage food law production, so there is no permit to show — claim with rule-compliance proof (your labels and product list showing you follow the cottage rules). You will never be labeled “permitted” for a program that issues no permit.
Street & mobile vendors: you are a separate track — you do not cook from a home kitchen. Claim with your mobile/sidewalk vending permit (in the permit type your state or county issues) and your profile shows your typical area and where you are often found — walk-up only, no bookings.
