Congratulations!!
🎉 Congratulations to Homemade by Audrey in Bastrop, Texas, recipient of the very first Homemade Texas Label Upgrade Grant!
Audrey makes delicious pumpkin and banana bread and, until now, was handwriting every single label.
By hand. ✍️
Running a cottage food business is hard enough without spending hours writing labels one at a time. That is exactly why we created the Label Upgrade Grant, to help remove real-world barriers that make it harder for cottage food operators to grow and operate efficiently.
Audrey will be receiving a label printer and supplies to help streamline her business and save precious time.
This is also a great example of what the Homemade Texas Verified Seller program is really about. Yes, Verified Sellers receive a badge and sticker, but it has never been just about that.
It's about support. It's about problem-solving. It's about having someone in your corner who understands the challenges of running a cottage food business and is willing to help.
We are proud to support Audrey and can't wait to see Homemade by Audrey continue to grow ❤️
And a reminder to our Verified Sellers, every active VS is eligible for consideration for future Label Upgrade Grants, which will be awarded from time to time as funding allows.
Please join us in congratulating Audrey! 👏 And if you find yourself in Bastrop, be sure to order some of that pumpkin bread. 🎃😋https://homemadetexas.org/places/united-states/texas/bastrop-county/bakers/homemade-by-audrey/
