Sharpen Your Vendor Skills

Why vendor knowledge matters

The most successful cottage food vendors aren't just good bakers — they understand pricing math, legal requirements, and marketing basics. Each week's challenge helps you build practical knowledge that directly impacts your bottom line.

Learn from real scenarios

Every question is based on a real situation — calculating margins on a bulk order, knowing your state's labeling rules, figuring out how many batches you need for Saturday's market. The kind of decisions vendors make every week.

Challenge your vendor friends

Share your emoji grid in your vendor group chat or Facebook group. The spoiler-free format means everyone can compete without ruining the questions. A little friendly competition keeps everyone sharp.

Build consistency

Taking the challenge each week builds a habit of thinking about your business strategically — not just making product and showing up. The vendors who grow fastest are the ones who invest in learning, even 5 minutes at a time.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does the challenge change?
A new challenge goes live every Monday. Each week has 5 fresh questions covering pricing, legal, marketing, operations, and growth. Previous challenges aren't available — so take it before Monday!
Can I retake the same week's challenge?
No — each week's challenge can only be taken once. This keeps scores honest and makes sharing more meaningful. Come back next week for a new set of questions.
What do the emoji squares mean?
Green squares mean you got that question right. Red squares mean you missed it. The pattern lets you share your result without spoiling the answers for other vendors who haven't taken the challenge yet.
Are the questions based on real vendor scenarios?
Yes. Every question is based on real situations cottage food vendors face — actual pricing math, real state law requirements, proven marketing strategies, and practical operations decisions. Getting 5/5 means you really know your stuff.
How does sharing work?
After completing the challenge, you can copy your result (score + emoji grid + link) to share in Facebook groups, text messages, or social media. On mobile, the native share sheet lets you send it directly to any app.
