{{subpages}} A '''cottage industry''' is a small-scale business enterprise, so named because it is usually run out of someone’s home—originally, when the term was coined, a rural cottage. Today’s cottage industries operate as stand-alone businesses and/or as suppliers to larger businesses or industries. Cottage industries often begin as [[hobby|hobbies]] and are an outlet for goods produced, sometimes as a way of financing the hobby or as a secondary income. Others grow out of experimentation or invention. Some cottage industries do so well that they become full scale businesses, and some of these have become legendary, as in [[Mrs. Field’s]] and [[Apple_Inc.|Apple Computers]]. Common cottage industries *[[sewing]] and [[knitting]] *[[gardening]]: plant stalls, market gardens *[[jewellery]] making *[[bed and breadfast]] *[[publishing]] *services industries: [[house cleaning]], [[beautician]]s, [[baby sitting]] [[handyman]] services
