About The Roadstand

We’re Bringing the “Roadside Stand” Online.

The Roadstand is a Florida-focused marketplace built to empower home-based bakers, cottage food artisans, and local farmers.

We believe the best food doesn’t come from a factory—it comes from your neighbor’s kitchen. Our mission is to modernize the local food economy by creating a platform that is safe, legal, and community-driven.

Why We Started

For years, selling homemade food in Florida has been harder than it should be. Talented bakers are stuck posting in chaotic Facebook groups, worrying about “porch pirates,” or stressing over confusing legal statutes.

We saw a need for a professional home: a place where buyers can discover fresh Sourdough or local Honey without the hassle, and where sellers have the tools to thrive legally.

More Than Just a Marketplace

We aren’t just connecting buyers and sellers; we are building the infrastructure for the cottage food industry.

  • Safety First: We built the Florida Compliance Checker to help sellers navigate Statute 500.80 instantly.
  • Florida Focused: From Miami to the Panhandle, we are purpose-built for Florida’s specific cottage food regulations.
  • Direct-to-Neighbor: No hidden fees, no shipping warehouses. Just real food exchanged in your community.

Who We Serve

  • The Makers: Home chefs ready to turn their passion into a paycheck without the overhead of a commercial kitchen.
  • The Neighbors: Buyers who care about ingredients, freshness, and keeping their dollars in their local zip code.
