Designed to support local food entrepreneurs, small-scale producers, community groups, and educators, our co-operative kitchen is a flexible, affordable space for preparing, testing, and scaling food-based businesses in Muskoka. Whether you're launching a new product, batch cooking, hosting a workshop, or running a culinary event, our space offers everything you need to bring your vision to life.

Our licensed community kitchen features a wide range of commercial-grade equipment, including a commercial electric convection oven, a six-burner gas range with two ovens, a commercial dishwasher, refrigerator (available for use during rental), three deep sinks with a spray hose, and ample prep space. We also offer smallwares such as a KitchenAid mixer, blender, food processor, cutting boards, knives, pots, pans, and mixing bowls. Renters are encouraged to bring their own gear when possible to ensure ease and familiarity during use.

Renters are responsible for thoroughly cleaning the kitchen after use, including taking out all garbage, compost, and recycling. Any damages or broken equipment must be reported and will be the responsibility of the renter.
