ABOUT US

Kitchener Oakland is a fully-operating commercial kitchen for startup food businesses to cook and grow in. Our affordable rate model and strong emphasis on cooperation helps nurture food entrepreneurs from fledging to flight in a safe, creative, and low-risk environment.

We handpick the artisans who cook out of Kitchener - we look for micro to small food entrepreneurs who pay particular attention to using local, organic and/or sustainable ingredients as a basis for their food craft and who are conscientious about supporting the local food economy.  However, what is more important is that we host micro food artisans with a desire to be helped and to help others.

 

Several times a year, we showcase our artisan's food through our pop-up markets and open houses.  And in late 2017, we'll be unveiling our Kitchener Snack Bar - a rotational take-out window showcasing Kitchener businesses.  It's through these markets and the Snack Bar where artisans get to interface and connect with the community which supports them.

WHO WE ARE

Kitchener Oakland is a strong, community-oriented kitchen that emphasizes the spirit of helpfulness, kindness, and openness in sharing knowledge and resources.  The success of the kitchen has very much to do with the quality of our foodmakers.  Every group passes a vetting process for character, personality, and production fit.  Because this kitchen contains the livelihood of so many people's businesses and dreams, we place 100% emphasis on respecting the kitchen and one another and we place immense thought on creating a hospitable space to grow and nurture your business from fledgling to flight.
