Are you a backyard barbeque guru? A cupcake curator? Do you have a secret recipe that surpases the magic sauce found on the Big Mac? Do you want to start selling your creative cousine but find your kitchen is too small or you don’t have the money to buy the expensive machinary you need? The Collaborative Kitched Space would be an opportunity for community members and entrepreneurs to rent out kitchen space for a few days or hours. It will allow small startups to begin in an environment that caters to them. Perhaps it could even include an incubation space as well. See this article for more ideas that could be included in this Kitchen Space: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/06/nyregion/a-taste-of-long-island-a-commercial-kitchen-with-a-built-in-market.html?_r=0

Nancy,
Grand it would be — also the literal and ultimate definition of Vertical Integration! Roof Farm, Hydroponic Production, Collaborative/Certified Commercial Kitchen + Public Market. I’m working on the business plan for the Roof-Farm right now! -
How about placing the collaborative kitchen in the same building as a farmer’s market, rooftop garden space and a food co-op. Wouldn’t this be grand?

This idea was based on an article about the Taste of Long Island in Farmingdale. Check out their page here, it might give us a better idea of how it would work: http://www.facebook.com/ATasteofLongIsland

Since there has also been the suggestions of Food Trucks, I found this Mobile Kitchen Classroom ( http://mobilekitchenclassroom.org) that already exists in Brooklyn and could be duplicated to serve two purposes a) teach local children healthy cooking and b)by people who use the commercial kitchen and sell their food locally.

I totally agree! That’s awesome that you have all those skills
We need to set something like that up for sure. Hope your class went well last night. We missed you -
Great idea! I use to live in a rural area where I taught healthy cooking and food preservation: canning, proper freezing techniques, pickling etc. In rural areas people get together in church kitchens, and can their veggies together. This would also be a great place for cooking and nutrition classes. classes could even be focused on Controlling diabetes or cooking gluten free, or weight loss. Scouts could use too. The possibilities are limitless.
