Each Thursday, I’m highlighting a work-from-home job or
business.
Job Description:
A jellies or jam maker is one who makes her own fruit-based or other types of
jams and jellies.
Education: None
necessary.
Skills: The
ability to make and can homemade jellies and jams.
Job outlook: Although
home canning is experiencing a bit of a upswing, there are sill many people who
do not make homemade jams and jellies. Metropolitan or urban areas will likely
have more customers for homemade jellies and jams than more rural locations.
Possible employers:
Local restaurants (especially farm-to-table ones), bakeries, organic
supermarkets, and farmers markets could be great places to sell your wares.
Preparation: Make
sure you’re complying with all state and local health department rules related
to selling homemade goods. Take a food-safety course, usually offered through
the health department or local restaurant association.
Get your foot in the
door: Start by setting up a booth at a local arts and crafts fair or
farmers market. Visit area stores and restaurants with samples.
Until next time,
Sarah
