Since 2002, the Commercial Kitchen Program has assisted culinary professionals realize their dream. By providing a low-cost, full-service kitchen space, we eliminate the need for small businesses to take on the debt of purchasing expensive equipment or signing a long-term lease. Instead, culinary entrepreneurs can focus on building a sustainable and profitable business.
Our Kitchen is open to:

- Food Producers/Packagers
- Other food related businesses
About the Commercial Kitchen Program
