Commercial food products must be produced in a licensed production facility. The cost of equipment alone is enough to stop most culinary businesses before they start. To meet the needs of culinary entrepreneurs, a fully equipped licensed commercial kitchen is available. This is a shared use facility where food producers can legally prepare, process, cook and store perishables. It is a fully licensed facility for catering, food preparation, and specialty food production.

This commercial kitchen facility is available to:

• Those wishing to produce and package specialty or gourmet foods
• Caterers
• Street vendors
• Church, school or civic groups

In addition to providing shared-use kitchen space, the Kitchen Incubator is a place where small business owners can learn more about the technical aspects of food production and receive assistance with such skills as:

• Product development
• Ingredient sourcing
• Packaging and labeling
• Shelf-life information
• Nutritional analysis
• Marketing strategies, and more

Kitchen Incubator tenants also have access to other Incubator resources including:

• Copy and Fax machines
• Resource library
• Computer lab
• Secretarial services
• Conference rooms
