Shared Use Kitchen Panel Discussion

Join the MV Kitchen Innovation Collaborative for a community panel and interactive discussion exploring the future of Martha’s Vineyard’s food ecosystem. This gathering will bring together food producers, farmers, entrepreneurs, and Island residents to discuss the potential for a shared-use commercial kitchen and other infrastructure that could support local food businesses and strengthen the Island’s food system. Hear insights from regional leaders who have launched successful kitchen incubators and share your ideas during a collaborative workshop session.
