The Kitchen Lab: Where Farming Meets Food Entrepreneurship
At the heart of our mission is a space for growth. The Kitchen Lab is our professional-grade, value-add facility designed specifically for small-scale food entrepreneurs. It’s here that the Gilbertsville harvest is transformed into local retail goods.
We bridge the gap between the field and the market by providing makers with the tools to innovate, test, and scale their recipes. Whether you are preserving the season’s bounty or launching a new prepared food brand, our Kitchen Lab offers the infrastructure needed to turn raw ingredients into community staples.
Looking for a fully licensed commercial workspace in Montgomery County? We provide the professional infrastructure you need to grow. Our facility offers flexible booking options, allowing caterers, bakers, and food producers to rent high-quality kitchen space by the hour or block. Skip the construction costs and focus on what you do best—creating great food in a compliant, health-department-approved environment.
