About Us

Building a Stronger Local Food System

The Worcester Regional Food Hub is dedicated to growing a vibrant and inclusive local food economy. We provide food entrepreneurs with the tools, space, and support they need to succeed while connecting our community to locally made food.

Since opening in 2016, the Food Hub has helped dozens of small food businesses launch and thrive. Our members bring flavors from around the world to Central Massachusetts, enriching Worcester’s cultural and culinary landscape.

  Affordable, fully equipped kitchens available for caterers, bakers, and food producers to develop, test, and grow their businesses.

• Education & Training
  Workshops and certifications in food safety and business development to help entrepreneurs succeed.

• Business Support
  One-on-one technical assistance and mentorship from experienced staff and partners, tailored to each stage of business growth.

  Helping small businesses find markets, events, and customers who value fresh, local, and culturally diverse foods.

Our Impact

Over nearly a decade, the Worcester Regional Food Hub has:
