Our Mission
The Roadstand is a community‑driven marketplace built to empower home‑based food makers, small‑batch artisans, and local farms. We believe that fresh, handcrafted food deserves a platform that celebrates its authenticity, supports legal compliance, and connects passionate creators with eager buyers—right in their own communities.
Why We Started
Too many talented local producers struggle to find reliable, legal ways to sell their homemade goods. With state cottage food laws expanding, we saw a need for a modern, user‑friendly platform that helps sellers thrive while keeping buyers informed and safe.
What Makes Us Different
- Local First: Every product on The Roadstand is made or grown by someone near you.
- Direct‑to‑Buyer: No middlemen, no markup—just clean, honest food.
- Compliant & Transparent: We guide sellers through state laws and ensure buyers know what’s allowed.
- Built for Cottage Food: We’re purpose‑built to support the unique needs of home‑based and small‑batch producers.
Who We Serve
- Buyers who care about freshness, supporting local economies, and discovering unique homemade food.
- Sellers ready to turn their kitchen skills or backyard harvest into something meaningful—without jumping through unnecessary hoops.
