Stop Guessing. Start Selling.

Thousands of Canadian home bakers are selling their goods without knowing the rules — and risking fines, shutdowns, and liability. Ready to Sell is an online course built specifically for Canadian home bakers that covers federal regulations, each province’s rules, food labeling requirements, where you can legally sell, and how to set up your business properly. Pair it with the Homebaker’s Resource Toolkit and you have everything you need to launch and run your home bakery professionally. Learn at your own pace, get a certificate of completion, and start your home bakery business the right way.

Your Path to Selling Baked Goods

Understand the Rules

Canadian federal law sets the foundation, but your province determines what you can actually sell from home, where you can sell it, and what approvals you may need. This course breaks it down by province in plain language so you know where you stand before you bake a single item for sale.

Know What’s Required

Requirements vary widely across Canada — some provinces need nothing at all, others require inspections, food handler certificates, or market-specific approvals. This course walks you through what typically applies in your province and points you to the right local contacts to confirm what’s needed in your area.

Product Labelling

Learn what’s required on every label — ingredients, allergens, net quantity, and the home kitchen declaration specific to your province. The course covers exactly what Canadian law requires so you can label your products correctly and confidently from day one.

Set Up Your Business

From registering your business name to understanding GST, this course covers the business basics a home baker needs to get started. Your province-specific compliance checklist is included with your course — a practical reference covering what to confirm and who to contact before your first sale.

Built Around Your Province, Not All of Them

The rules for selling baked goods from home are completely different in Ontario versus BC versus Alberta. This course is organized so you go straight to your province, learn what applies to you, and move past what doesn’t — no reading through rules that have nothing to do with where you live.
