La Cocina Snapshot
La Cocina's mission is to cultivate low-income women food entrepreneurs as they formalize and grow their businesses.
La Cocina is a non-profit in San Francisco with a mission to cultivate low-income women food entrepreneurs as they formalize and grow their businesses. The organization works primarily with women from communities of color and immigrant communities. La Cocina provides a shared commercial kitchen, industry-specific technical assistance, and access to market opportunities that generate income for the businesses.
La Cocina was born out of a belief that a community of naturally talented entrepreneurs, given the right resources, can create self-sufficient businesses that benefit themselves, their families, their community, and the whole city.
Since its founding in 2005, La Cocina has incubated more than 130 businesses, graduated nearly 60 entrepreneurs, and supported the launch of over 40 brick-and-mortar locations around the Bay Area. In April 2021, La Cocina launched its biggest project to date: the La Cocina Municipal Marketplace, the nation's first women-led food hall. The Marketplace is pivoting into an incubator kitchen space to serve more entrepreneurs in La Cocina's program.
La Cocina has also been known for creating its own unique programs and opportunities that generate sales and amplify the voice and visibility of its entrepreneurial community, including the San Francisco Street Food Festival, the Voices From the Kitchen storytelling event, Week of Women in Food dinner series, We Are La Cocina cookbook, and Holiday Market.
