Secure your lifetime benefits now!
By paying a one-time $10 fee, you’ll secure lifetime benefits:
- Lower commission rates (10-15% vs. competitors’ 30%)
- Priority access to kitchen facilities once the platform is operational
- Exclusive access to vendor collaboration tools
- Early access to new platform features and updates
Say goodbye to high commissions. Our 10-15% commission rate is a fraction of what other platforms charge (30% or more). Plus, we don’t charge monthly platform fees, so you can keep more of your earnings while still delivering your products to your customers.
With HomeMade Connect, you don’t need to worry about high kitchen rental fees. We offer affordable, fully-equipped kitchen spaces for $15/hour, strategically located within 5 miles of your home. Plus, as a vendor, you can even co-own these mobile kitchens, giving you equity in the space and a voice in its operations.
We believe in community over competition. Our vendor collaboration network allows you to connect with fellow entrepreneurs, share resources, and cross-promote your products. Whether it’s creating joint product bundles or co-marketing efforts, we make it easy for you to collaborate and grow together.
HomeMade Connect offers a unique co-ownership model for mobile kitchen spaces. Rather than just renting, you can own a share in the kitchen facility, gaining voting rights and shared profits. This ensures that you not only have access to a kitchen but also have a say in how it operates and benefits from its success.
As a cottage food vendor, you’ll face unique challenges. That’s why we provide you with business development resources, including mentorship programs and peer knowledge sharing. Whether you need guidance on growing your business, navigating cottage food regulations, or expanding your product line, we're here to help.
By becoming a founding vendor, you secure lifetime benefits, including priority access to kitchen facilities, exclusive discounts, and early access to new features as we roll them out. Your participation helps shape the future of HomeMade Connect, ensuring that it meets the needs of real-world cottage food vendors like you.
