Welcome to the Santa Ynez Valley Community Kitchen at St. Mark's!

The SYV Community Kitchen serves the Santa Ynez Valley as a hub for a wide range of programs addressing both immediate and structural food insecurity needs and providing economic opportunity for local low-income families.

…it offers a training venue where people can learn to work in a certified commercial kitchen for our local restaurants

…it is a teaching venue where children and adults learn how to cook economically, efficiently, and nutritionally 

…it is available as a recovery kitchen to preserve and repackage gleaned and rescued foods 

…it offers a low or no-cost alternative for individuals needing a commercial kitchen for a startup or for micro-economic projects

…it is a site for feeding programs like a Saturday breakfast or holiday dinners

…it is a place to prepare meals to be delivered offsite – such as the summer Picnic in the Park program for children

The SYV Community Kitchen at St. Mark's can serve up ideas you have!

Partnerships and Collaborations in the
​SYV Community Kitchen

The SYV Community Kitchen is  a culinary co-working space that is open to collaborative projects with community-based organizations. We're grateful for our community partners and for farmers and other other food producers who are the life of the SYV Community Kitchen. Let's be co-creative!

SYV Community Kitchen serves as a commissary kitchen for Neighbors Coffee, a micro-business in Los Olivos.
