Testimonials

"HVBK was the perfect location for starting our packaged food product company.  The facility has all the necessary food safety licenses for selling in-state as well as nationally, and they were helpful with guiding us through the additional permits we needed to operate.  We were able to test our concept, find ways to improve our process and gain new customers without having to go through the time and expense of getting our own space.  They handle everything so you can just focus on making your product as great as possible.  HVBK provided the resources and tools we needed to succeed, and in only a few short months, we outgrew the kitchen to move into our own space."

HVBK opened its doors right when I started to grow out of my home kitchen.  I knew I needed a space that would allow me to grow and scale my production.  HVBK did just that for my business!  The owners and members of HVBK have been super supportive throughout my time in this kitchen.  Going from my home kitchen to this commercial kitchen was a huge adjustment, but it has been an amazing experience baking here and the owners have made it very convenient and easy to use.  HVBK saved the day and finally opened up that opportunity to food businesses in the Westchester community. "

Using the Hudson Valley Beta Kitchen has opened up the doors for my business to grow.  The kitchen itself provides ample table, refrigeration and freezer space for me to work.  On top of that, and maybe even more importantly, the owners are a wonderful resource!  They helped me with all the necessary forms, certificates, and paperwork I needed to get my business started.  Now, they are quick to respond to questions and concerns I have and are always asking how things are going.  I am so happy to be a part of the HVBK community while I'm doing what I love. "

BIG CHALLENGES

Frustration & Overwhelm

right-2.png

Does This Sound Familiar?

Starting a food business is exciting, but navigating the legal, operational, and financial complexities can quickly become overwhelming.    

  • Confusing Licensing & Permits Many new food entrepreneurs struggle to understand which permits, licenses, and certifications they need to operate legally, leading to costly delays or compliance issues.
  • What about Food Safety & Health Regulations? Navigating food safety laws, inspections, and labeling requirements can feel overwhelming, and non-compliance can result in fines, shutdowns, or legal trouble
  • ​Am I Making Any Money?          Many new food business owners undercharge for their products, miscalculate costs, or fail to build in sustainable profit margins, making it difficult to stay afloat.
  • Where do I find Customers?  Attracting customers and standing out in a crowded market is a major challenge, especially for those unfamiliar with branding, digital marketing, and sales strategies.
