Monthly rental kitchens are offered in various sizes to meet the varied needs of the several businesses that operate in the Culinary Center. These kitchen spaces require tenant improvements to meet the needs of the businesses that operate from them as no equipment is provided. The monthly tenant spaces are currently all occupied; however, renovation and kitchen development plans are underway. Check back soon for availability and contact us at foodworks@cityofarcata.org or by calling 707-825-2112 to be included on the waiting list.
