We are building a community hub with and for chefs, neighbors, culture bearers, organizers, and activists. Together, we host spaces for people to nurture direct and local economies, and to gather for play, learning, culture, healing and collaboration.
Visit Our Space: Open Test Kitchen
What started as our flagship incubator program has now evolved into a fully operating kitchen and restaurant led with chef-entrepreneurs. Visit our space during café hours or bring your next event to Open Test Kitchen. Learn more.
