About

Indigenous producers, are you ready to take your business to the next level? Look no further than the Turtle Island Trade Coalition (TITC).

As an Indigenous food trade hub, TITC is here to support tribal nations and communities across the United States. By joining our coalition, you’ll gain access to a range of benefits that will help you grow your business and reach new customers.

First up, we provide an online space where you can easily market and sell your products. No more struggling to set up your own website or online store. Our platform features point of sale services with secure transactions, so you can rest assured that you’ll receive consistent and timely payments.

But that’s not all – as a member, you’ll be featured in our online National Market Maker business directory. This means your products will be showcased to over 40,000 nationwide customers.

We know that growing a new business can be tough, which is why we offer both competitive and non-competitive grants to help you.

To ensure you have all the knowledge and skills you need to succeed, we provide access to trainings on the content found in our producer guides. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refresh your skills, our trainings have got you covered.

Last but not least, as a member, you’ll receive free registration to attend our annual Turtle Island Trade Coalition Food Sovereignty Conference. This is an incredible opportunity to network with other Indigenous food producers, learn from industry experts, and celebrate the amazing work being done in our communities.
