Buzz From C&K Community Kitchen Makers
"The community at C&K has been wonderfully supportive and helped me grow to where I have consistent customers and people who rely upon my drinks and concentrates. I could not have done it without Sarah's support."
-Chaga Charlie, Schroomers
"Having moved to Westport in late summer of 2021, Bright Box Bakery found a home in C&K Community Kitchen. It's rare to find a shared kitchen that is collectively focused on quality and environmentally friendly ingredients and C&K has that. As a small business producing gluten free handmade sweets and bakery items it's great to be able to bake in a commercial kitchen that serves a greater purpose while growing my business."
-Joanne Kolata, Bright Box Bakery
"C&K Community Kitchen is more than a place to make a product, it's a place to create something that connects a community. My business has blossomed 10x thanks to the support of Sarah and the other makers at the kitchen."
-Tynne Love, Herbal Deva
"I am grateful to be a part of the C&K Community Kitchen. The kitchen does so much in providing entrepreneurs a springboard to bring their ideas to market, which would otherwise be challenging, due to the high cost of building out a production space. C&K is the bridge between passionate food producers doing what they love and customers who love the quality products they produce."
-Donny Raus, Raus Coffee
"In outgrowing my cottage food manufacturing limit, I am overjoyed to join C&K Community Kitchen and am looking forward to finally being able to take my jackfruit jerky business to the next level and out into the world."
-Kristina Lee, Sassy Birch
"I am grateful to you, Sarah. Without your support, advice, and facility, my business would not exist and I would not be on the verge of turning it into something sustainable."
-Robin Van Riper, EHSTO
"So glad I found C&K Community Kitchen to create my charcuterie & cheese platters for my mobile bar. The guidance I received in the certification process was priceless. I am so excited and the catering season has not even begun!"
-Jamie Milton, Issa Vybe Mobile Bar
"As a caterer, I rent the C&K Community Kitchen during the holidays for client pick-ups. Our commercial kitchen is far away & most of our business is in Westport. The kitchen always has ample refrigeration space & tables for us to keep all of our holiday orders organized. We are very grateful to have such a cute spot for client pick-ups."
-Genee Habansky, Herbaceous Catering
"We are grateful to have been able to launch our CBD caramel business from C&K Community Kitchen. It was the perfect fit to bridge our business to the next step, pursuing our own production closer to home in New York State. We appreciate the support, promotion of our products and generosity in providing such a user-friendly space to all of us food entrepreneurs."
-Michele Kim, La Petite Occasion
"C&K Community Kitchen is a conveniently-located and nicely-outfitted commercial kitchen. The C&K space allowed me the space to take my farmer's market small business to the wholesale level, and the experience was invaluable."
-Maya Noren, butter + sugar
"C&K Community Kitchen was a great launching pad for my wholesale business. It allowed me to work on my own, while honing my recipes, without the distraction of other businesses working around me. This is truly a hidden gem for those looking for a commercial kitchen right in the heart of Westport, CT."
-Sarah Tamm, Ivy's Gourmet
"C&K Community Kitchen was the springboard for me to start my Gluten Free Dairy Free baking business-- The Bee and The Baker. There is no other commercial kitchen in or near Westport that has this great setup and is affordable to boot. C&K has been the incubator for some amazing creativity in Westport and I was lucky that we found Sarah when we did."
-Stacey Orsek, The Bee and The Baker
"Without C&K Community Kitchen, I would have been unable to launch my jerky. Having a small kitchen where I could experiment and see if my product was viable was invaluable."
-Dr Amy, Dr Amy's Organics
"So glad to have found C&K Community Kitchen in our search for the required certified kitchen to package gluten free promotional products for our client launch."
-Alana, Genesis Promotions
"C&K Community Kitchen was a great find to use for our photo shoot. Thank you so much for your enthusiastic guidance and support."
-Jake, Jake's Mustards
"C&K Community Kitchen was the perfect gathering place to have our intimate cooking class hosting our visiting Mexican chef friend. With all the tables on wheels, it made it so easy for us to participate and partake in a wonderful meal, making for a great success. The only challenge- leaving the kitchen as immaculately clean as when we found it. Will definitely make use of your meticulous functional space again."
