Meeting/Kitchen
Facilities
The old school cafeteria kitchen facilities have been renovated for
use by the community. The new facility, now known as Stecoah
Valley Food Ventures, offers a commercial kitchen that is available to help
start or grow a small food industry business.
Our NCDA inspected
and Sanitation Graded facility features modern kitchen equipment,
dry storage space and modest rental fees. The kitchen may be used
to prepare food for personal use, retail sale or catering purposes,
make value-added agricultural products, teach or take a class, host
your own party or a variety of other purposes.
The sunny meeting and dining
room seats up to 50 and is available to rent for meetings, classes
reunions, receptions or other private parties. We can also supply
tablecloths, utensils, glassware and tableware for your event. For
more information call Project Manager Denise Anthony at 828-479-1466. |
