Community Kitchen
A Launchpad for Local Food Entrepreneurs
​
Our Community Kitchen is a licensed shared-use facility operated under the Georgia Department of Agriculture, specifically designed to support small business owners and food entrepreneurs. We provide an affordable, fully equipped space for launching or expanding agriculture food-related ventures, with a strong focus on empowering our local community.
​
Our kitchen is ideal for producing a wide range of value-added products, including baked goods, canned foods, sauces, jams, jellies, and other shelf-stable items packaged for retail sale. We are not licensed for catering operations or hot-hold service directly from the kitchen, and we do not have the facilities to support food trucks at this time..
​
With access to professional-grade equipment and flexible rental options, community members can grow their businesses without the high cost of building or outfitting their own facility—making their vision more accessible and sustainable from day one.
Rental Hours & Rates
The kitchen is available year-round, 7 days a week,
