Shared Kitchen and Meeting Space

A value-added production facility will provide a shared kitchen/commissary and meeting space to enable producers, entrepreneurs, and community members to develop skills in value-added agricultural production, such as turning bruised tomatoes into salsa with a longer shelf life for sales and a higher value per pound. It is hoped that the facility will include multiple commercial kitchens to help address the shortage of commercial kitchen access in our region and could serve food entrepreneurs as well as farmers.
