At CommonWealth Kitchen, we believe in the power of inclusive entrepreneurship to change the world.

As Greater Boston’s only nonprofit food business incubator we provide a launching pad for diverse entrepreneurs to start and build successful food companies.

The business leaders that make up our network—predominantly BIPOC and women-owned enterprises—bring the passion, talent, and love for their craft. We provide some of the supports they have not traditionally had access to, like our shared kitchen and manufacturing space, specialized equipment, best practices, and valuable connections. We are coaches, mentors, and advocates for those who have traditionally been excluded from our food economy.

Since 2009, we’ve helped to launch more than 150 diverse food businesses, creating over 500 new permanent jobs, and generating over $65 million annually in combined gross revenue.

In addition to our commercial kitchen rental and business assistance, we also offer small-batch manufacturing, which provides outsourced production to emerging member companies to help them scale, as well as farms, restaurants, and other food businesses.

CommonWealth Kitchen has received numerous awards and accolades for its work, including being named Boston Magazine’s 2021 Best Community Catalyst.
