CFM is a both an outlet and an incubator for many small-scale food businesses. Many businesses for which CFM was an early outlet have gone on to develop their own brick and mortar stores and to expand into wholesale distribution outlets. Since 2016, CFM has also formalized business support programs that were previously more ad hoc within our vendor and stakeholder communities.
