FROM LOCAL FARMS TO YOUR KITCHEN

Find your ingredients. Show your farm connections.

Search local farms by what they grow, where they sell and the badges on their listings. Visit a farm’s page for its location and contact details.

Add the farms you buy from in Badges. Submit your sourcing evidence for review; approved relationships appear on your storefront and the farm’s page. Receipts and private notes stay private.

Home kitchen or licensed kitchen?

Choose the path that matches your food. Home-based cottage foods and meals from a licensed kitchen have different selling rules. Your business review covers your location, food, labels and service choices before sales open.

Home cooks across the United States belong here. Check your state and local food-business rules for the food you plan to sell and your pickup and delivery choices. Find your state’s food agency in the FDA’s state directory, or explore licensed and shared-use kitchens.

Your pickup. Your choice. Choose home pickup, a kitchen, or another pickup spot that meets your local rules. Set the location and collection window in Meal Drops. Your private business address is not automatically published in this directory; the pickup details you choose to share appear with your meal drop.

YOUR FOOD. YOUR MENU.

Build your menu one item at a time, or upload a CSV or Excel spreadsheet. Preview the names, prices, descriptions and allergen notes, then import them into your business dashboard.

Imported items start paused. Review each item and set its availability. Your public menu gives customers a place to browse; your business’s ordering checks control checkout, pickup and delivery.
