Mission
We’re CommonWealth Kitchen, an award-winning Boston-based nonprofit and social enterprise on a mission to stir up a more just, sustainable, and delicious food economy — one rooted in racial, social, and economic equity.

More than just a shared kitchen, CWK provides a comprehensive array of business and technical assistance, access to a powerful network of industry partners and outsourced manufacturing services for emerging food companies.
