Mission Garden’s Commercial Kitchen

We are nearing a completion of a long-awaited project in the Garden—a commercial kitchen.  This kitchen will be equipped with a stove and hood, a freezer, refrigerator, ice maker, two hand sinks, a 3 compartment and a 2-compartment sink and two rolling metal tables for preparation.

In the next two weeks we will be submitting our plans for a permit to complete and to install all the above tools.  When complete, hopefully within 6-8 weeks, we will have a fully functioning commercial kitchen to provide us with the ability to cook farm to table dinners, make preserves from the Garden, to cater special events at the Garden and to bring the full richness of native plants, heritage fruits and vegetables to Garden visitors.

Mission Garden’s kitchen and heritage food related projects are being made possible by grants from the Stonewall Foundation, Slow Foods of Southern Arizona, and the Rio Nuevo Multipurpose District and Benjamin Plumbing Supply. To finish this project, we’re still looking for additional funding from generous supporters like you- will you help us?
