Recipe for Food Service Success: The aroma
of some of West Virginia's finest foods fill the air of downtown
Huntington as Unlimited Future, Inc. (UFI) builds Mountain
Bounty Kitchen. Kitchen incubators such as this have been
used as a community economic development strategy. Communities
can develop and support food-related businesses that create
both new start-up businesses, and additional jobs, as existing
small-to medium-sized businesses expand.
Mountain
Bounty Kitchen is a 14,000-square-foot addition located adjacent
to UFI and has 2 full-sized commercial kitchens, walk-in coolers,
and freezers. The storage room includes racks for dry goods,
utensil and finished goods storage, as well as men's and women's
lockers. There is a dock for unloading ingredients, packaging
material and other goods, and loading the finished product.
These kitchens were specially designed to provide room for
small to large scale Roasting, Baking, Candy Making, Bottling
of Homemade Jams, Jellies, Sauces, and other food packaging
and production, including Catering. Labeling machines will
also be available to assist in the packaging and marketing
of finished product.
UFI is identifying potential users by tapping into the local
farmer's market, fairs, festivals, and the Department of Agriculture.
A large number of potential users for the Kitchen have been
identified. If you are interested in renting a kitchen from
Mountain Bounty, please call UFI at (304) 697-3007.
