Farm2Chef · For Sponsors

Be seen where Houston eats, gardens, and gathers.

Farm2Chef carries a small number of clearly labelled sponsored placements — a featured section in the app, a featured row in the farm directory, one block in the newsletter, and paid-partnership features on our social channels. Every paid unit says so, right on it: Featured partner — Sponsored · Ad policy — and a paid slot never changes the organic order of anything.

What we offer

App home — featured section

One rotating featured slot on the member home of the Farm2Chef app, labelled on the card itself. One sponsor at a time.

Directory — featured row

A fixed featured row above the directory results, inside your own category only — at most three per category, and the organic results below it are never re-ordered by a placement.

Newsletter — one block

One sponsored block per issue, headed “Sponsored”, in the newsletter our members and partners actually open.

Social — paid partnership

Features on our Instagram channels, captioned “Paid partnership with …” from the first line, with the platform's own paid-partnership label on as well.

The audience, honestly

We price placements on the audience we can prove, never on the growth we hope for — and every proposal prints the measured audience it is based on. Today that audience is a directory of 1,413 farms and a founding member cohort (capped at the first 500) that is still growing, here in Houston first. That is a pilot-sized audience, and pilot placements are priced like it.

Placements launch in stages as the audience grows. Applications are open now; founding sponsors are notified first when the first stage opens. Applying costs nothing and commits you to nothing — and a person reviews every application by hand.

How it works

1

Apply

The short form below — two minutes. Tell us what you sell, where, and which placement you're eyeing.

2

We review

A person checks fit, claims, and category. Payment never promises approval — if a placement isn't right, we say so plainly.

3

Proposal, then placement

Approved sponsors get a written proposal (placement, dates, price, what's included, and honest reporting terms). Payment happens only after approval, and your recap reports exact first-party counts.

What we never sell

Rankings. Badges. Endorsements. Spots on our wellness, scan, or recall surfaces. Member data. A placement buys extra exposure in a labelled slot — never a claim that a business is better. The full rules are on our ad policy page, in plain language.

You're offline. Pages you've opened still work; anything that saves or sends will go through when the connection returns.
