Built for everyone who moves food.
Each side of the trade gets a home base that runs its side of the work — discovery, verification, readiness, sourcing, booking, and settlement — with your progress always visible.
Farms
Claim your listing, verify ownership, raise your Readiness score gate by gate, publish availability, and receive buyer inquiries — a sales rep, a compliance coach, and an order desk in one dashboard.
Claim your farm →Chefs
Your catering storefront, bookings inbox, and settlement statements. You control what's public — nothing shows until you consent, field by field — and payouts release when the work is done.
Apply as a chef →Buyers & Institutions
Submit sourcing requirements once; get curated shortlists of verified farms, accepted introductions, and the supplier-diversity reporting your procurement file needs.
Submit requirements →Planners & Hosts
Send one event brief and get matched chefs — explained, not just listed. Briefs, bookings, terms, and rebooking your favorites live in one place.
Request a chef →Feel how the platform works.
Two pieces of the platform, running right here: a sample dashboard — progress ring, quest checklist, earned badges — and The Match, our guided way to find a chef. Switch roles, tick the quests, run a match. Everything on this page is a demo: the names are invented, no data leaves your browser, and no real farm or chef is shown, ranked, or badged anywhere here.
Your quests
Real steps, in order — each one unlocks the next. Tap a quest in this demo to see the ring move.
Badges earned
Badges certify a checked fact — verified by a person, never bought, never self-declared.
Four quick taps. An explained shortlist. This is the link we'll send instead of a portfolio PDF — try it: Step 1 of 4
1 · What's the occasion?
2 · Where?
3 · What's on the table?
4 · How should the room feel?
Demo matches are invented chefs shown to demonstrate the experience. The live Match draws only on chefs who have claimed their profile and consented to be bookable — and when a city has no matches yet, it says so honestly and turns your brief into a recruiting signal.

Not points. Proof.
Farm2Chef's game layer is built on real work, so it never cheapens the trade: no points balances, no public leaderboards, no discount wheels, no fake scarcity. Instead:
Quests = onboarding
Each checklist item is a real step — claim, verify, complete, publish. Finish your quests and you don't just look ready; you are.
Badges = verified facts
Verified Ownership, Credentials Verified, Gate 0 Ready. Issued after a human check, revocable with consent, never for sale.
Readiness = a rising score
The five-gate Readiness assessment becomes a progression: take the action, watch the gate move, get shortlisted. Self-reported, honestly labeled — never a "certification."
Streaks = reliability
Farms that publish availability week after week and chefs who answer promptly build a private reliability record — the thing buyers actually pay for.
Seasons = challenges
Opt-in pushes tied to the real calendar — publish fall availability before the buyer bulletin closes — rewarded with real unlocks, like featured-placement eligibility.
Milestones = receipts
First introduction, first order, first completed booking, first rebook — each one marked by the record that proves it, and each one unlocking the next door.
Free to start. Paid when it pays.
Listings, claims, and profiles are free — forever. Paid tiers buy presentation, reach, and reporting once you're verified and the value is proven. Tier pricing below is the platform's published plan, shown for preview; paid tiers open as each dashboard launches.
Farms
Free — listing, claim, verification, corrections.
Enhanced · $95/yr — verified badge display, photos, full product list, service area, links.
Pro · $295/yr — buyer-inquiry alerts, priority in curated collections, assisted introductions, seasonal refresh.
Buyers
Sourcing Member · $99/mo — directory access, 2 sourcing requests a month, quarterly availability bulletin.
Sourcing Partner · $299/mo — unlimited requests, warm introductions, supplier-diversity reporting.
Chefs & Planners
Claiming and listing are free. Chefs who run catering through the platform, and planners who book through it, pay platform fees on the transactions the platform processes — the terms are shown in full before anyone commits.
One loop, every side feeding the next.
Planner demand books chefs → chefs run their catering here → chefs source farm-direct from claimed farms → farm order volume makes claiming and Pro worth it → delivery removes the last friction → our dinner club keeps manufacturing demand and proof. The progress system above exists for one reason: so no one in that loop ever has to wonder what their next step is.
Your first quest is one tap away.
Farms: claim your listing. Chefs: apply. Buyers: tell us what you need. Planners: send a brief. The dashboard grows with you from there.
