About

Blue Oven Kitchens Inc. is a not-for-profit kitchen incubator serving North Central Florida.  Its mission is to foster a whole-system approach to the sustainable growth of the North Central Florida food system by providing and promoting foodways, foodshed, food economics, and food safety research and education; and by incubating low-income and disadvantaged food entrepreneurs.

A kitchen incubator provides access to inspected, commercial kitchen space while also providing business support services.  We are currently fundraising to build a facility that will host our activities and be open for rental.  It will host cooking and preserving classes, community canning days, and other activities designed to teach our community about local and healthy eating.  This facility will be fit for caterers, bakers, most specialty product entrepreneurs and others to rent.

If you require an inspected kitchen now, we have developed the Referral Service Program by which we match existing inspected kitchens with appropriate renters (please see Facilities & Referral for more information).
