The North Shore's first certified shared use kitchen, where foodpreneurs are cookin' the dream.

Kitchen Local fills a niche for culinary professionals and provides around-the-clock access to an affordable, modern, convenient and permitted kitchen workspace. By using Kitchen Local, you can launch or expand your business immediately without a large initial capital investment. This minimizes your risks and start-up costs. We love helping small businesses get started and will guide you through the permitting process.

Chefs, small-scale food producers, farmers, and nutrition instructors can use the kitchen for food production, catering, baking, cooking classes, menu planning, training, recipe testing, photography, and product development. At Kitchen Local, a community of foodpreneurs comes together in a collaborative environment to share their passion for food with the world! 

The state-of-the-art kitchen is located at 14 Cedar Street Studios, a historic brick building a few blocks from downtown Amesbury. Once home to Chas. J. Henschel & Co., one of the city’s famed carriage and automotive manufacturers, the building now hosts an array of creative entrepreneurs including artists, architects, designers, builders and musicians.
