When: Thursday, Nov 1, 2018 at 3:30pm Eastern / 12:30pm Pacific

Value-added food production has great potential for communities as well as individual entrepreneurs, in part, because food production can be profitable even at rather small scales. One key to smaller scale production success is shared equipment and space.

There are many great examples of organizations that support food entrepreneurs begin, and find success, in their operations. In this webinar we bring two fabulous more-traditional examples to the fore: La Cocina in San Francisco and Union Kitchen in Washington, DC. You will hear the great impacts of these operations, as well as some of challenges, and details of actually running an incubator.

We will also hear from The Food Corridor, a virtual food hub that connects food entrepreneurs to commercial kitchen space. The Food Corridor also oversees a community of practice of shared-use community kitchens, and has created a useful Shared Kitchen Toolkit, a free guide to starting a new shared-use or
incubator kitchen and managing the operations of it.

Join us for a whirlwind tour of wealth creation and sovereignty through food!

The Community Kitchens, Incubators and Accelerators webinar is presented by the Greenbelt Fund and the National Good Food Network (NGFN). The National Good Food Network is bringing together people from all parts of the rapidly emerging good food system – producers, buyers, distributors, advocates, investors and funders – to create a community dedicated to scaling up good food sourcing and access. The Greenbelt Fund, a non-profit organization, supports and enhances the viability, integrity, and sustainability of agriculture in Ontario and Ontario’s Greenbelt. The Greenbelt Fund delivers support to farmers and local food leaders to ensure more of the good things that grow in Ontario are being served and distributed through our public institutions, retail, and foodservice markets.
