January 28, 2013... oh, what a day! It was a Monday and all four inspections were scheduled to take place. Fire and Plumbing in the morning, and Building and Health in the afternoon... all four permits needed to make Kitchen Local (and, as you have heard before, my dream!) a reality. What was I nervous about? Well, everything! I have learned to expect the unexpected, so even though I knew that the kitchen space was top-notch, I was worried (of course) about what I wasn't expecting. Needless to say, Kitchen Local passed with flying colors, acquiring all four permits that day... and, officially opening for business!
The project coordinator and his team left shortly thereafter and there I was... just me, myself, and my brand-new utlra shiny business. I took time (well, an evening!) to pause, breathe, and take in all that had transpired over the past 6 months. This was an end (to the planning) and a beginning (to the implementation)... a smooth ending and a glorious beginning!
Later, during the week of the 28th, word came from the Amesbury Department of Health, that the first Kitchen Local clients had received their Food Service Permits. Not only was Kitchen Local "officially" a business, so were six other small food producers. Dreams realized and opportunities created... just like that!
Kitchen Local is proud to welcome... Habib's Home Cooking (www.habibshomecooking.com); Fresh Beginnings Baby Food; 19 Steps Bake Shop (19stepsbakeshop@comcast.net); Alex's Whey (www.alexswhey.com); Carolyn's Farm Kitchen Cooking Classes (www.carolynsfarmkitchen.com); and Grillicious.
