is to solve problems of equity in business ownership for women, immigrants, and people of color by providing affordable kitchen spaces, training, resources, and community to talented entrepreneurs so they can cultivate thriving food businesses.
is a local, national, and international economy that deeply values locally owned food businesses where communities come together, culture and flavors are shared, and economic well being is achieved. We exist to create a community of food entrepreneurs working not only for their own success but for the benefit of their families, neighbors, and the generations to come. We strive for a future where those disadvantaged by capitalism, racism, sexism, and able-ism can harness their talents, power, and creativity to create inclusive, thriving economic alternatives.
At La Cocina, everything we do is done with hospitality, for our community, and in the service of opportunity and inclusivity.
