Home micro bakery selling pre-orders and walk-ups from your front porch one morning a week
Bake a small menu of high-demand items (sourdough, cinnamon rolls, cookies, bagels) in your home kitchen under your state's cottage food law, sell pre-orders online plus walk-up sales from a porch cart or table on Saturday mornings, and document the whole journey on local-focused social media so customers find you without paid marketing.

From Chris Koerner on The Koerner Office Podcast — She Makes $2K Every Saturday From Her Parents' Front Porch at 00:24
Problem: People want fresh artisan bread and bakery items weekly but commercial bakeries are distant and expensive; the baker wants a low-overhead business with no rent, no employees and no paid marketing
For: Local neighbors and nearby residents (mostly within 15–20 minutes drive) who want fresh, homemade baked goods weekly
