Cottage food vendors often face challenges that larger platforms don't address. Our approach is centered on fostering a collaborative network, where vendors are encouraged to work together, share resources, and cross-promote each other’s products. By creating an ecosystem of mutual support, we ensure that each vendor has access to the tools and partnerships they need to thrive in the cottage food industry.

Traditional commercial kitchens are costly and limiting, but with our model, vendors can co-own mobile kitchen spaces that are strategically located near their homes. This revolutionary approach allows vendors to enjoy affordable kitchen usage while gaining equity in the facilities they use. With a co-ownership structure, vendors benefit from shared profits, priority bookings, and lower costs compared.

HomeMade Connect isn’t just a platform—it’s a supportive network where vendors grow together, share knowledge, and help each other succeed.

Founded by a licensed Illinois cottage food vendor, the platform is built on real struggles, real solutions, and a deep understanding of the challenges vendors face.

Offering co-ownership of mobile kitchen spaces gives vendors not just access, but equity and shared profits, making them partners in the success of the business.
