Hey Penny! Great post!

We are working on an incubator/community commercial kitchen here in eastern
Wisconsin! Perhaps we can support one another with ideas in some way. We
are also putting a food cooperative in the retail area - it will share
retail space with products produced in the commercial kitchen!
