The Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Marketing Service awarded B-More Kitchen LLC a $625,000 Project Grant under the Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program. The grant will support B-More Kitchen's expansion of its shared commercial kitchen operations in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania through September 2025. Specifically, a portion of the new Philadelphia kitchen's space and the General Manager's time will be dedicated to working with local farms, ranches, producers, and processors. The kitchen space will be subsidized for these stakeholders for the first three years. The General Manager will identify, onboard, and closely work with these groups to develop value-added agricultural products. The project aims to expand their market access knowledge, produce and sell new value-added products, and establish food safety plans. This is expected to benefit the local agricultural industry and economy in Southeastern Pennsylvania, consistent with the FMLFPP's goals of supporting local and regional food systems.
