About FEED

Food Enterprise and Economic Development (FEED)  Kitchens is a project of the Northside Planning Council of Madison. We will be building a multi-user food business incubator on the Northside of Madison and hope to open in late fall of 2012.

The FEED facility will include five commercial kitchens, with specialized equipment for baking, produce preparation and processing, deli prep and meat processing. The facility will be available for rent by the hour so that food businesses and individuals seeking to sell food to the public can have a legal place to prepare their food.

We will also have a training kitchen available for non-profit groups and cooking teachers to use to teach food service and preparation skills so that people can get work in the food service industry, and can learn how to cook and process food for their own consumption.
