COMMERCIAL KITCHENS FOOD SYSTEMS:
- East Baker Kitchen – East Baker Kitchen is a commercial kitchen housed in the formerly abandoned East Baker Elementary School in Southwest Georgia. The Kitchen, imagined by community members as a training and vocational center, a hub for entrepreneurs, and a state-of-the-art cooking facility, allows community members, cooperatives, and food entrepreneurs the opportunity to sell and harvest locally grown fruit, vegetables, and other products. The Kitchen also provides micro-loans and access to equipment that is often out of reach for small local businesses.
- Crossroads Commercial Kitchen and Food Hub – Crossroads Commercial Kitchen and Food Hub in Clarksdale, Mississippi, a partnership between SRBWI and the Mississippi Delta Council for Farm Worker Opportunities, aggregates, processes, and distributes locally grown produce from farmers in the region.
- Southwest Georgia Regional Agricultural Cooperative Food Hub – The Southwest Georgia Regional Agricultural Cooperative Food Hub is an outgrowth of decades of farm-to-school and commercial production and marketing in the region. The cooperative provides food to local consumers, schools, and wholesale markets throughout Southwest Georgia.0
