Sullivan County's first shared-use kitchen and interactive classroom!
Demand for fresh, healthy, and locally grown food is growing in the United States – and we want to make sure that Sullivan County has a dedicated facility and educational program where the output of our local agricultural community can be transformed, value added, by local entrepreneurs into food products that find their way onto the shelves of the small-scale retailers on our Main Streets.
Our Catskills Kitchen Food Business Incubator Program provides the technical assistance people need to start their own food business, or even expand an existing business. We offer a variety of educational programs for both the beginner and expert.
We provide resources and programming for the following:
- Business Planning
- Marketing
- Financing Resources
- Food Processing Rules and Regulations
- Training in Value-Added Production
- Food Labeling Requirements
- Packaging and Distribution
- Certification Training
- Food Safety Classes
- Assistance with navigating the licensing and permitting process
- Assistance with accessing markets and purchasing from local farms
Not only do we provide technical assistance and educational programs to help people start or expand their food business dreams, but they can produce food products in a licensed kitchen facility in the Sullivan Catskills Kitchen! Serving farmers, restauranteurs, bakers, caterers, and other specialty food entrepreneurs.
