Be the Brand That Stands
With Cottage Food Entrepreneurs.
NCFA strategic partnerships put your business in front of a passionate, growing audience that's actively building homemade food businesses — and actively looking for the tools, services, and products to do it.
You become part of the infrastructure of an entire industry.
The cottage food industry is one of the fastest-growing segments in the small business economy. With cottage food laws now active in all 50 states and legislative momentum expanding sales rights across the country, the number of active cottage food entrepreneurs is growing every year.
NCFA members are decision-makers for their own businesses. They choose their own suppliers, platforms, tools, and service providers. They're not employees purchasing on a corporate card — they're entrepreneurs investing in their own livelihoods. When your brand becomes associated with NCFA, you become part of the infrastructure of an entire industry.
A focused, high-intent audience of independent business owners.
Consistent, measurable exposure across every NCFA touchpoint.
Founding-era partners receive elevated recognition and locked-in pricing. Contact us to discuss what works for your brand and goals.

If your customers include home-based food entrepreneurs, NCFA is the most direct path to that community.
NCFA actively seeks partners whose products and services genuinely serve the cottage food community. Ideal partners include:
Be part of building something lasting.
NCFA is in its founding phase — which means the organizations that partner now will be permanently recognized as the businesses that helped build this industry's national home. Founding partners receive a level of visibility, relationship access, and historical recognition that will never again be available. We are actively seeking a small number of founding-level partners to help launch this organization. If you're interested in being part of the foundation, we'd love to talk.
Be the first to know when partnership opportunities open.
Sign up for NCFA updates and we'll keep you informed on founding partner availability, partnership tier pricing, and upcoming events.
