What to Expect and When

We take every recommendation seriously. Here's our process so you know what happens next.

Step Timeline What Happens
1. Receipt Same day Your suggestion arrives in our queue and is logged. We send you a confirmation email so you know we've received it.
2. Initial Review 2–3 business days Our team evaluates the business against our standards for quality, authenticity, and craft. We research their work and online presence.
3. Outreach 3–7 business days If promising, we reach out to the maker directly to learn more, verify information, and understand their story.
4. Decision 1–2 weeks We make a final decision. If accepted, we add them to our directory. If not a fit right now, we may keep them on file for the future.
5. Feature 2–4 weeks Featured makers appear on our site with their story, products, and guidance on where to find them. You'll see the feature go live.

Not every recommendation becomes a feature—we're selective because quality matters. We respect your time, and we handle each suggestion with care.

Why Suggest a Maker

The food world is full of makers doing remarkable things on a small scale. Many work quietly, known only to people nearby. By suggesting them to us, you're helping them reach people who appreciate craft and quality as much as you do.

Your recommendations shape our community. We feature the producers and delis that align with our values: genuine passion, honest ingredients, and respect for the craft. Every suggestion helps us build a more complete picture of what's excellent in your region.
