As a non-profit kitchen, we make every effort to keep the costs as low as possible for the food entrepreneurs making use of our space. Start-up food businesses have so many initial costs and a difficult path to profitability, so we make it our aim to lessen the burden of rent. Your support of Alchemist Kitchen helps us to maintain these low costs and promote the success of these new businesses around Sacramento.
