For partners
Build a better food system with us
Some organizations share what we believe: food should be local, honest and made from things you'd recognise. If that's you, we'd like to work together.
Official partners are organizations CFT works with by name, and community kitchens join as partners too.
Why you matter
Food should be community based
Each customer is served by producers in their own area. That takes more than a website: it takes organizations rooted in the same places.
Small growers need a real role
We believe local farms, gardens and growers should help fix how we eat. Partners who share that belief help make room for them.
Food should be food
Prepared food on CFT is made from things you would recognise in your own kitchen. Partners who work the same way show what that looks like.
Our rules for partners
These keep the community honest and the food local. See what we accept for the standards each food has to meet.
- A partnership is agreed in writing before a partner is shown on CFT. Nothing on CFT is invented, so a partner is shown only when the partnership is real.
- A partner can never pay to change a producer's listing, price, rating or place in search. Placement on CFT can't be bought.
- Say you are a CFT partner whenever you promote CFT or a producer on it.
- Make only claims that are true. No health claims, and no certification claims CFT hasn't checked.
- Growers are still listed as producers, not as partners, and a kitchen that prepares food applies as a community partner.
- Anything a partner moves or hands out follows the network's rule: food never touches plastic in transit.
