Grand Junction, CO also has a wonderful kitchen incubator. The organization began with a business incubator and CDBG funded revolving loan fund. It expanded to include a kitchen incubator as a response to the needs of local orchards needing a way to maximize the value of their crops by processing some rather than having to ship only fresh fruit. The model of SBDC, loan fund, business and kitchen incubator all housed under one roof has been very successful. (About 15 years ago I managed the loan fund, which has expanded to include venture capital for entrepreneurs since I left.) Incubators have been funded in some locations by EDA also. http://www.gjincubator.org/ From: bounce-5060254-9549621@list.cornell.edu [mailto:bounce-5060254-9549621@list.cornell.edu] On Behalf Of CarolCoren@aol.com Sent: Tuesday, January 26, 2010 12:41 AM To: communitydevelopmentbanking-l@list.cornell.edu Subject: Re: communitydevelopmentbanking-l digest: January 23, 2010 contact NBIA about kitchen incubators.

Kitchen incubators are a hot topic right now with the small farm direct marketing world, but there are not many well established model programs in place yet. Leslie Schaller, a fellow Farmers Market Coalition board member, works for the Appalachian Center for Economic Networks http://www.acenetworks.org/ - in addition to multiple kitchen sites, they offer a branding/marketing component as well as distribution for retail sales. There are a number of projects that are in the planning and granting stage, so by this time next year you should be able to find additional programs. -- Sharon Yeago, President, Farmers Market Coalition On Tue, Jan 26, 2010 at 10:07 AM, Ted Fowler <ted.fowler@bristol.gov.uk> wrote: Hi - this is an excellent list, following you all *is definitely more of an inspiration than a displacement activity for me!

New partners for America Saves 2010 include ING, Utah State University, New Jersey Society of CPAs, and WorkLife Program at Purdue University. Waddell & Reed commented on the importance of America Saves Week 2010 stating, "With the current state of the economy, people are beginning to realize that they must begin to take the necessary steps to save for tomorrow. The tools and resources that America Saves Week provides will be invaluable for the betterment of those we serve." .

Original message from: lyndon.comstock@gmail.com
My brief comment, based on my experience in working with a commercial kitchen incubator in Brooklyn a few years back, is that marketing of food products is a far more difficult issue than production. I would suggest focusing two-thirds of one's efforts on supporting entrepreneurs in successfully bringing their product to the customer. Food marketing channels are often very difficult for small companies to access. We made the mistake of focusing our efforts on assistance with production, financing, and administration. Those are all extremely important but not nearly as intractable as the marketing challenges.
