Fork Food Lab is a small startup business in Portland, Maine, just minutes away from downtown and I-295. We focus on connecting food lovers to food makers. We offer a shared kitchen rental space and tasting room to small food businesses who need to offset the costs of a startup. Along with a kitchen space for rent, Fork Food Lab provides commercial cooking equipment and industrial kitchen appliances.
Starting a small food business is not an easy task. Shared kitchen rentals help keep the costs down. Without Fork Food Lab, small business owners would have to pay for rent, equipment, cleaning crews, insurance, and more! We take care of the costs and offer both full time and part time membership rentals. Want to rent a kitchen for a day? We're also flexible with renting by the hour, too.
The tasting room is a great perk for members of Fork Food Lab. This is a prime place to test your food creations and see how they sell to the masses. The tasting room will also be home to events, cooking classes, and food club meetings. In search of a wedding venue? Consider us for any event, including birthdays, reunions, and holiday parties! Our lower level offers an additional 1,500 sq.ft for larger events.
