OFFERING SMALL FOOD BUSINESS ROOM TO GROW

About us

Fran & Geoff Brown have had the entrepreneurial spirit for many years. From their humble beginning as a home-based business producing and selling through local farmers markets, they expanded their business to a 3400sq ft bakery/store in February 2017.

Despite the Covid crisis, they were blessed to be able to count on the incredible support of their amazing community. As a result, Fran & Geoff looked for opportunities to give back.

They decided to reach out to many of the new entrepreneurs to offer advice and support. On October 31st, 2021, they opened a state-of-the-art certified commercial kitchen, specifically designed to give small food businesses access to the space, resources and business skills they need in order to make their culinary dreams a reality.

If you’re thinking about a business idea in the food industry, why not give Harvest Commercial Kitchen a call and let them help you take that necessary next step in the development of your business.
