Cassie Menchhofer lives in Celina, OH and sells dried mixes (like soup mixes, baked mixes, and spices) with her business, Cassie’s Country Cupboard.

Cassie started her business in 2011, and she managed to grow it despite having a full-time job and two very young kids.

After running her business for 8 years under Ohio’s cottage food laws, she decided to take her business to the next level.

In 2019, Cassie built an FDA-approved manufacturing facility on her property, which is a step-above a commercial kitchen.

With the facility, she now sells her mixes through stores and online, shipping nationwide. She even uses her facility to offer a co-packing service for other small food businesses.

In this episode, you will hear all about Cassie’s unique business journey.
