Recipe for Success: August Meetup for Home-Based Food Makers
Event Details
Whether you are selling your first cottage food product, refining a signature recipe, or dreaming of taking your brand from your home kitchen to retail shelves and restaurant spaces, the Home-Based Food Business Program is designed to give you the tools, insights, and community to make it happen.
Join us on the second Thursday of every month (August – December 2026) for an interactive, high-value virtual meetup featuring expert mentorship, hands-on learning, and targeted networking with fellow food entrepreneurs.
Leading our monthly sessions is Chef Mani Niall—a seasoned culinary entrepreneur, baker, author, and food product development expert. Mani brings a wealth of real-world experience to the table. His rare combination of culinary artistry, commercial R&D experience, and business savvy makes him the ideal guide for food makers at any stage of growth.
Every monthly virtual gathering is structured to deliver immediate value and real-world connections:
- Interactive Mini-Workshops & Expert Panels: Dive deep into essential food business topics, from recipe standardization and scaling R&D to branding, distribution, and commercial compliance.
- Inspiring Guest Speakers: Hear firsthand from guest entrepreneurs—including successful home-based food business owners who successfully transitioned into full-fledged restaurant and brick-and-mortar owners.
- Virtual Peer Networking: Connect, collaborate, and share resources with a community of like-minded food creators who understand the unique hustle of home-based production.
