Kitchen Membership

More than just a shared kitchen, this is a space where women of color in the food industry can thrive while being part of a supportive, inclusive community. Designed to elevate small food businesses, the 1,650-square-foot facility is fully equipped with commercial-grade tools, including stoves, ovens, refrigeration, and specialty equipment like a steam kettle and food processor. With an ODA-licensed kitchen and rigorous cleanliness standards, members can focus on creating high-quality, culturally inspired products in a professional and sanitary environment.

Conveniently located in Portland, the kitchen offers easy access to production, distribution partners, and customers, making it an ideal hub for food entrepreneurs. Flexible scheduling through The Food Corridor ensures that members can book and manage kitchen time with ease, while exclusive perks like free access to the Food Innovation Center provide invaluable resources for product development, shelf life studies, food safety testing, and packaging solutions. Being in the same building as B-Line Urban Delivery also means members can take advantage of temperature-controlled storage, last-mile sustainable delivery services to local retailers like New Seasons Market, and other logistical support through their eco-friendly transportation network.

Joining this kitchen membership means becoming part of a movement that values diversity, equity, and inclusion. Members gain access to in-house expertise, including a CPG consultant to help scale their products and navigate retail readiness, while connecting with a vibrant network of food entrepreneurs. Whether you're launching your first venture or scaling an existing business, this is the space where creativity, collaboration, and opportunity come together. Take the next step in your culinary journey and join a community that's committed to your success.
