There have been a lot of changes lately for commissary kitchens in the Prescott area. If yours recently stopped operating, we are here for you.

The switch is quick and easy. Fill out our Become a Kitchen User form (linked in our bio), and we will get in touch to walk you through next steps.

Pricing starts at $100 a month for most food trucks and $200 a month for most caterers.

Don’t let a closed commissary put your business on hold. Reach out today.

Got a food business idea? Let’s get it started.

If you’ve been thinking about turning your recipe into something real, the first step is probably easier than you think. Before the Yavapai County Department of Health can issue your food license, they’ll ask for a commissary agreement. All that means is you have a licensed professional kitchen where you plan to prepare your food.

And that is exactly what we do here at NoCo Community Kitchen.

We are a shared-use commercial kitchen in downtown Prescott, operated by Prescott Farmers Market. Bakers, spice makers, caterers, food truck operators, you name it. If you are making food and need a licensed space to do it, this is the place.

Here is the best part: signing your commissary agreement costs you nothing. No fees, no commitment. It is just the thing that gets the ball rolling so you can move forward with your food license. (AND we’ll even help you walk through the steps to getting licensed.)

Send us an email at [email protected] or fill out the interest form linked in our bio. We’ll set up a time for you to come see the kitchen, ask questions, and get your agreement signed. Easy as that.

This is part one of a series on starting a food business in Yavapai County. Stick around so you do not miss the next step.

Social media is rented space. Platforms change, reach drops, accounts get hacked.

Your email list? That’s yours forever.

Capture emails at every sale, every market booth, every interaction.

Offer a small incentive: “Sign up for 10% off your first online order” or “Get our seasonal recipe guide.”

Then actually use it. Send monthly newsletters with:

→ Behind-the-scenes stories from your kitchen
→ Seasonal recipes featuring your products
→ Exclusive discounts for email subscribers only
→ New product launches before anyone else knows

Email marketing costs nothing and keeps you front-of-mind when customers are ready to buy.

While everyone else is fighting for Instagram visibility, you’re landing directly in their inbox. Without having to log into social media once.

How are you staying connected with your customers this winter?

If you want help or some quick ideas on how to get started, reach out to Abby in the kitchen at [email protected]
