HistoryWe took over operations from the former Nuestra Culinary Ventures and founded a new 501(c)3 non-profit in August 2009. We have re-invigorated the program and the space, currently supporting about 35 culinary entrepreneurs and their fledgling businesses. We provide technical support, training, oversight, and guidance through the early stages of a new food business. Our managers and directors have immense experience in the food industry from restaurants, to specialty food start-ups, to big-industry growing and processing enterprises. We have launched over 45 businesses since August 2009, and had our first crop of graduates in summer and fall of 2010.SpecialtiesCropCircle Kitchen is Boston's only shared use kitchen and culinary business incubator.
