Community Kitchen & Incubator
Information
As part of the Sustainability Summit 2019, this group has committed to working on planning, designing, locating funding and space for community kitchens.
Members: 27
Latest Activity: 13 hours ago
Goals
This is just a brief introduction of our goals. The plan consists of two separate elements, community and business.
1) Community:
a.) enable local community gardeners to have a space where they can work on food preservation
b.) provide educational opportunities -- food safety, sanitation, canning, preserving
c) provide activities that build community - ie.; exchanges, dinners etc.
d) promote health and wellness
2) Business
a) provide an incubator space where entrepreneurs can begin to bring their products to market
b) provide start up business services
This is from memory, so it is not complete, but a generalization of our planning.

- I just thought I'd share, in this moment, a piece I wrote about the fermentation fair held earlier this year, where I met the talented and brilliant Sandor Katz - aka Sandorkraut. What a great advisor he'd be (he's my FB friend) to our value-added products work in the area of fermentation, specifically. All of these processes could be refined to create so many healthful value-added items naturally and organically - Cleveland Mead, Cleveland Kombucha - etc. Great potential.

- I look forward to meeting those of you from this great group I haven't yet and meeting the great folks I met at Gypsy Bean at last meeting, again! There is a great opportunity to do great design work here that is truly collaborative and truly inclusive of all our community stakeholders. I look forward to sharing a meaningful mapping model to ensure maximum buy-in and synergy across our civic space. See you all soon!

I am very interested in this type of project. I don't know if I'll be available for any of the meetings for the next couple of months, but I'd like to stay "in the know". And if I can come, I certainly will.
I have a ton of ideas and I'm glad to see there is a group now that is wanting to do something like this.

- Hi, since I wasn't able to attend the meeting on Thurs would it be possible for someone to send me a recap so that I can stay in touch with what's happening?
