2022-2024 Kitchen Incubator Project

In keeping with our mission to generate revenue streams for our local economy, WHFC introduced the Small Food Business Kitchen Incubator Program in January 2022 as an opportunity for up-and-coming food businesses in the Western Maryland region who do not yet have a commercial kitchen space of their own to grow their business. With support from the USDA Local Food Promotion Program (LFPP) grant awarded to WHFC in 2021, this program provided new food entrepreneurs with access to commercial kitchen space that meets health department standards, educational resources and tools for lasting success, a broadened market of consumers, and locally, ethically, and sustainably sourced ingredients. Through the program, we were able to assist two start-up businesses in growing their business as a whole as well as provide others with consultations and connections with external resources. While the Kitchen Incubator Project ended in 2025 due to limited resources, we hope to explore future opportunities to continue to support the expansion of our local food system and neighboring businesses.
