EEFI New Food Producer Application
EAST END FOOD'S SHARED COMMUNITY KITCHEN

East End Food is a nonprofit whose mission is to support, promote and advocate for farmers and producers, while ensuring everyone in the community can enjoy and be nourished by local food.

By providing a licensed commercial kitchen for use by farmers and small-batch food producers, we provide an incubator space where entrepreneurs can develop and produce their products and grow their businesses. 

We welcome startup and established businesses alike, and cultivate an open and affirming community atmosphere. That said, we may not have the space or internal expertise to accommodate every need. We will be in touch with further clarifying questions in response to this application. We reserve the right to invite producers at our discretion.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE AS A PRODUCER?

Any Long Island-based food or beverage entrepreneur may apply to be a producer in our kitchen. We prioritize producers based on the use of local agricultural ingredients and their involvement in other East End Food programs, like our in-person and virtual farmers markets. 

New producers must have an active Business Membership with East End Food at $250/year, returning producers can renew at the $150 level.
