Welcome to Apron Strings!!

 
I'm going to be posting 'tales' from the new Community Kitchen opening at the Spencer Penn Centre next Wednesday, July 22!  We'll explore together the many ways a Community Kitchen (CK, for short) can be used to benefit our community.  Do you have aspirations to cater, turn your secret family recipe into a marketable product, can in large quantities, make food items to sell at the Farmer's Market?  Whatever your need, we're here to help! 
 
I hope this site will offer interesting and helpful information, as well as give you the opportunity to ask questions or make comments!  I certainly won't know all the answers, but I am fortunate to have a good support group of experts, so I can at least direct you to the information you're seeking.

I think it will be a great place to discuss the progress of those using the CK.  We'll all be learning together, sharing our experiences, and moving forward to make each venture a success.

The people who made this CK a reality have gone to other similar operations in NC and VA to learn the ins and outs of getting started, and that's what we'll do, too!  We'll turn to those who have already been down this road as well as each other for help to make the process a little easier.  No need to reinvent the wheel!

So, join us on Wednesday, July 22nd, 8:45-3:00, for the Open House--a day of information about the many ways this kitchen can be used to meet your needs.

Call 634-4650 Henry County/Martinsville Cooperative Extension to make your reservations now!  We're serving lunch, so we need to know you're coming!

I can't wait to get started on my very own project!
