Partner with the only national
trade association for cottage food.
Founding-round partnerships are open now. This is your opportunity to get in at the ground floor — with permanent recognition, locked-in pricing, and direct access to a national audience of cottage food entrepreneurs who are actively building businesses.
You become part of the infrastructure of an entire industry.
- 1Cottage food entrepreneurs are underserved by mainstream small-business resources. NCFA is where they come instead — making your partnership genuinely visible, not buried in noise.
- 2Partnering here reads as real industry support, not another logo on a wall. NCFA's value to its members is education and access, and your brand is part of that.
- 3Founding-round partners lock in founding-round pricing for as long as their membership stays active — and earn permanent recognition as the organizations that helped build the Alliance.
- 4Real infrastructure is already live: a member newsletter, active Discord community, resource library, legislative advocacy program tracking all 50 states, and CottageFoodieCon.
- 5NCFA's board brings direct cottage food industry experience alongside nonprofit governance — not an outside firm guessing at what this community needs.
A focused, high-intent audience of independent business owners.
NCFA opened membership on August 24, 2026. In the weeks since, we've grown to nearly 100 members spanning 27 states — a genuinely national footprint from week one, with members in every major cottage food market in the country.
If your organization serves cottage food producers, this is your community.
Three tiers. Each building on the one below it.
Founding-round pricing is available now for a limited number of slots per tier and locks in for the active lifetime of the membership. Contact us to receive the full prospectus with pricing and a complete benefit breakdown.
Not every partnership fits an annual tier.
Sponsored Memberships
Fund a set number of Individual memberships awarded to first-year producers, underrepresented community members, or need-based applicants. A concrete, reportable impact story — and a natural fit alongside a standing partnership tier or as a standalone CSR initiative. Minimum bundle of five memberships; public recognition included when the member consents.
Event Partnerships
Interested in a one-time or CottageFoodieCon-specific involvement rather than a standing annual tier? These arrangements are scoped case-by-case. Reach out directly to discuss what makes sense for your organization.
Founding slots are limited and filling now.
Founding-round pricing is available only during our launch window and will never be offered again. Slots are limited — 15 at Silver, 10 at Gold, and 5 at Platinum — and assigned first-come, first-served.
Founding-round pricing holds for as long as your membership stays active. Organizations that partner now are permanently recognized as the ones that helped build the Alliance.
