Help Nourish & Flourish boost local food start-ups

Become a part of Reno's culinary legacy!

Part of a thriving food scene in any city is a place where entrepreneurs can try out their ideas without the massive cost of opening their own spaces. Having a place where they can be creative, collaborate with other chefs and bakers, and take their ideas from concept to home-grown local business within their own communities is incredibly valuable. This is why we're raising funds to help Nourish & Flourish Kitchen & Market provide both a shared commercial kitchen and support programs right here in Reno.

Since our humble beginnings in Gardnerville, we've dedicated our efforts to supporting the chefs and bakers in our community. These producers are the definition of local: they live here, they use local produce and meats for their businesses which supports local farms, they sell their food within the community at our local stores and markets, they hire their friends and neighbors to work with them: which means that any money donated stays right here in our community: in Reno.

At Nourish & Flourish Kitchen & Market, our vision extends beyond just creating a shared kitchen space. Our aim is to cultivate a vibrant culinary ecosystem where local farmers, food producers, and entrepreneurs can thrive.

We're almost open, and we've made it this far with grant funding from the USDA, but our grant is coming to an end and we're going to need financial support from our community to keep it all going.

Your donations to Nourish & Flourish are tax deductible (we're a registered 501(c)(3)), and go directly to maintaining and improving our space, creating programs to educate and support our chefs and bakers on their entrepreneurship journeys, and to help keep us open as a space to nourish our local talent and give back to the community, through culinary programs and workshops, from which we draw so much inspiration. We sincerely hope you'll join us on this adventure.
