Community Kitchen
Our Community Kitchen is a shared-use facility licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture and designed for small Agribusiness owners and entrepreneurs, offering a cost-effective space to launch or expand food-related ventures.
​
It provides an ideal setting for producing baked goods, canned foods, sauces, jams, jellies, and other value-added products packaged for retail.
