El Pajara CDC Kitchen Incubator

Commercial Kitchen Incubator

The Commercial Kitchen Incubator Program (CKIP) is a food business incubator in a fully equipped, shared-use commercial kitchen facility. The CKIP was created in response to the growing need among aspiring local entrepreneurs wanting to build upon the strong food and farming traditions in our region.
The Kitchen Incubator will provide all the amenities and necessary licensing to help the participants overcome the challenges of complying with strict food safety regulations, while ensuring safer food for the consumer. In addition, it will provide technical support, business assistance and access to micro-loans to participants, encouraging the new businesses to expand and succeed.
By accessing the CKIP services, local food entrepreneurs will save the costs of commercial grade equipment and kitchens that now restrict their ability to start or expand their food businesses.
