Starting a Shared Use Kitchen
“Starting a Shared Use Kitchen” is a live Zoom webinar on Monday, February 17 at 2pm. Are you interested in starting a shared-use kitchen for food and farming businesses looking to rent commercial kitchen space? Join us for a discussion between a panel of organizations who are planning to build shared-use kitchens in Wisconsin, and shared-use kitchen resource providers like The Food Corridor, a software platform to help you coordinate your shared-use kitchen. (Stay tuned for the demo webinar for The Food Corridor platform).
