Lots of interesting replies there, thank you all.
I have researched constructing our own Curing Chamber out of a tall standard fridge and it looks like about a £100 initial investment.
I am planning on contacting our local council this week to discuss the hurdles involved.
I thought that as long as you are selling direct to the public and not a third party you were allowed to use your own kitchen.
Interesting comments on the insurance side of things, maybe public liability. I will have to research that to check it isn't prohibitive.
I was hoping to start small, selling to local friends etc and maybe at food fairs. Then if it grew to warrant the expense then I would get hubby to convert a brick built shed we have into a compliant processing room.
Thanks for your very honest replies, there are a few companies out there but not masses. i guess that could either mean there isn't the market out there for it, or I could be joining a movement before the market gets flooded.
I am going to have to learn alot about how to make a business viability plan.
