The University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture Cooperative Extension Service has a department dedicated to helping home-based food businesses as well as aspiring food entrepreneurs prepare their products for the market. The Extension Service has released its latest Arkansas Homemade Food Production Guidelines booklet.
