In addition to being set in a lovely rural environment, Farm Kitchen has a long-standing reputation for being a clean, fully equipped, and user-friendly commissary kitchen. Farm Kitchen has been a part of the north Kitsap community for over 30 years. We are committed to helping food entrepreneurs with limited resources overcome the obstacles they face when entering the food business industry. It is our goal to maintain accessible and affordable shared kitchen space which will in turn help strengthen our local food system.

The total commercial kitchen space is 1212 square feet. Our kitchen has two sections, the prep room, and the cookline room. Both spaces have several prep tables and workstations, allowing for multiple kitchen users at one time. Our kitchen space also includes lockers to store your personal belongings and an ADA restroom.

We make our space available generally between 6am and 9:30pm daily. Time is scheduled by users via an online calendar on a first-come, first-served basis. The kitchen manager monitors the signups so that multiple uses will be compatible, depending on the number of workers each kitchen user will bring on a given day.

We provide prep tables, two 6-burner gas ranges with ovens, two convection ovens, a double deck Garland stone hearth gas oven, a 30 Qt Globe stand mixer, a food processor, a blender, and an array of small wares. Our kitchen also has a 3-compartment sink, a veggie wash sink, a hand wash sink, and a sanitizing dishwasher. We also provide bleach, bleach buckets, dish soap, hand soap, and trash bags. We ask all kitchen users to provide their own sanitizing towels (no laundry facilities), knives, storage containers, parchment sheets, foil, plastic wrap, and specialty equipment. Depending on your needs, you may need to bring pots, pans, sheet pans, muffin tins, etc.

• Our walk-in refrigerator is 10’ x 11’, or 110 square feet, offering space for multiple rolling racks

• Our entire 10’ x 11’ walk-in freezer, or 110 square feet, is available for client storage needs

We monitor kitchen users through interaction, formal tracking, and security cameras.

1. In person: We are on-site most of the time and interact with all the kitchen users daily. For those who use the kitchen outside of our office hours, we make a point of checking in regularly.

2. Via forms completed by users: Our check-in/out sheet includes a daily cleanup list and a place for walk-in refrigerator and freezer temps to be recorded.

3. Each kitchen user completes the local Health Department commissary kitchen user log during each use of the kitchen.

While our kitchen calendar is often filled with our roster of kitchen clients, our commercial kitchen is available to offer cooking classes, cooking class/ dinner party combinations, and canning and food preservation classes.

All of our kitchen users must have a current food handlers permit, and be licensed by the Kitsap Public Health District or WSDA. Kitchen users must provide proof of product and liability insurance ($1 Million) with Farm Kitchen Events, LLC listed as additional insured. Also, all kitchen users must attend a safety, usage & sanitation orientation done by Farm Kitchen management.
