Cottage Nosh is delighted to welcome Junior Bakers to our platform. Junior Bakers are committed bakers between the ages of 13 and 18 who want to gain experience operating a home food business. In order to participate in the program Junior Bakers must be operating under the active and direct supervision of a parent or legal guardian who is a Licensed Cottage Food Operator who will be the Cottage Nosh Account Owner and responsible for the activities of the Junior Baker.
