Excerpt:
The farm’s next step is to build a commercial community kitchen where members can make the most of the farm’s produce. It would address the neighbourhood’s shortage of fresh produce and offer cooking and food preservation classes, as well as more programming at the farm for locals to participate in. The Stop Community Food Centre has a similar model where its community kitchens on Davenport Road are a space for people to learn how to cook and share recipes using seasonal and local produce.
“Having a certified commercial kitchen gives us the potential to have the farm-to-table experience. We can preserve food and sell it, bringing in revenue to reinvest in the farm,” says Black Creek Community Farm’s executive director Oheema Boateng. These kitchens can also support local entrepreneurs by supplying commercial-grade kitchen space to prepare and sell food. “A lot of community and commercial kitchens in the area have shut down or were closed off to the public in recent years. This will give (people) the opportunity to test out food before they sell it.”
