LIBERTY, NY — The new Cornell Cooperative Extension Sullivan County (CCESC) Entrepreneurial and Teaching (EaT) Kitchen will have its official grand opening and ribbon-cutting on Friday, January 30, from 12 noon to 1 p.m. The kitchen is located at CCESC’s Gerald J. Skoda Extension Education Center on 64 Ferndale-Loomis Rd. A light lunch will be provided by Natural Valley Kitchen of Jeffersonville.

Incubator community kitchens, like the EaT Kitchen, make it financially possible for a start-up food manufacturer to take advantage of available professional kitchen space while she or he grows the business. The EaT Kitchen is a licensed facility that provides professional steam-injection ovens, refrigerators, freezers, mixers, food processors, work tables and other equipment in a newly constructed teaching environment. In addition, Cornell Cooperative Extension Sullivan County can provide assistance in product development with the Northeast Food Venture Center at Cornell University in Geneva.
