Hartford Culinary Collaborative

TAG YOUR FAVORITE HARTFORD FOOD ENTREPRENEURS AND BUSINESSES IN THE COMMENTS.

Now is the time to share all those ideas, successes, and hardships that you’ve experienced during your business journey. This includes organizations and businesses that support food businesses.

Link in bio to register or head to Katrice Claudio, reSET Food Program Manager, joined a panel at the Big CT Food Event with organizations in the food entrepreneur pipeline. Foodpreneurs openly shared their struggles with the pipeline gaps.

Coincidently, the Hartford Culinary Collaborative aims to explore these issues further. They’re gathering information on how food businesses start and grow, aiming to find solutions. They want to identify strengths, areas needing support, and where new ideas could help.

To do this, the Collaborative is hosting community conversations in March and April. These events offer food, childcare, Spanish translation, and a financial incentive for participation if helpful.

New food businesses (under 3 years old) will meet at the Swift Factory on March 11, 5:30-7 PM.
Established ones (3+ years old) are gathering at Parkville Market on March 18, 5:30-7 PM.

Tag a food business you know of in Hartford, regardless if they are home based or in their own brick and mortar. We want to hear from you!
