GREENSBORO, N.C., Sept. 16, 2024 ~ The Nussbaum Center for Entrepreneurship (NCFE) has recently opened a new shared-use kitchen in partnership with Out of the Garden Project (OOTGP). This state-of-the-art facility is designed to support local food entrepreneurs and small businesses by providing access to a fully equipped, licensed commercial kitchen space.

The shared-use kitchen, managed by OOTGP, offers hourly rental options for food entrepreneurs looking to build their businesses. This initiative aims to empower these entrepreneurs by providing them with access to professional-grade equipment and facilities without the high costs associated with owning and maintaining a commercial kitchen.

According to Lisa Hazlett, President of NCFE, this project is part of their ongoing commitment to fostering economic growth and supporting small businesses in the Triad. "Our program Creating Equitable Food Spaces in an Opportunity Zone and Food Desert is the realization of a year's long goal to create legal certified kitchen space and to increase the availability of local, healthy and affordable food products in our Census Tract," she stated. "OOTGP is the perfect partner to help us achieve these goals."
