Kitchen Incubator Program (KIP)
The Kitchen Incubator Program is a community-based incubator program that helps local food entrepreneurs develop their business ideas and technical skills. It is intended for those looking to move past cottage law and obtain food licensing to grow their business or idea.
Aside from the classroom setting and group support, individuals will also have the support of a business coach to help them grow, set goals, and connect them to other resources outside of SpringGR. The application process is open twice a year through SpringGR. KIP is a 14-week program that requires a time commitment and personal investment.
