See our application process below & do not hesitate to reach out with any questions - we are here to help you begin your journey!
Please note that new member inquiries/review will be paused March 2 - 12 while our staff member is out of the office.
FILL OUT AN INTEREST FORM
We want to learn more about your new, developing, or existing food business! Take 10 minutes to fill out our interest form to tell us about the basics of your business. All new, interested businesses must complete an interest form.
Our team reviews new inquires on a bi-weekly basis. Our team will be in touch 7-10 business days after your interest form submission to address necessary steps to move your application process forward - this includes the completion and proof of permits and documents for The Commissary.
Every business that applies to The Commissary needs to complete and have proof of documents 1-5 from the permits and documents list before they can become an accepted member. Our website holds numerous resources for the completing permits & documents requirements. Check out our recorded workshops and resources page for more in-depth information.
REVIEW REQUIRED PERMITS & DOCUMENTS
Before contacting our team, please review the required permits and documents you’ll need to operate as a legal business in Monroe County and within The Commissary. On this document, you’ll find initial membership costs for joining our kitchen.
Please note that our team is accessible by appointment only - we cannot take walk-ins at this time.
ONBOARDING TO BECOME A MEMBER
Our team will work with you to schedule an initial meeting to learn more about you and your business, discuss your goals, and answer any questions you may have. After this meeting, we’ll work with you to gather the required permits and documents for membership and begin the onboarding process!
