This isn't just kitchen access.
It's a complete business education.

Most food entrepreneurs figure it out the hard way — spending months navigating permits, pricing mistakes, and retail rejections alone. The Incubator shortcuts all of that. Every module builds on the last, and Maria is with you every step of the way.

Two phases. One cohesive journey.

Sep – Nov · Weeks 1–13

Pre-Incubation

Education only. Get Fraser Health approved, legally registered, branded, and sales-ready before you step into the kitchen.

$350/month
Dec – Feb · Weeks 14–24

Incubation

Education + commercial kitchen access. First production runs, first sales, retail buyer introductions, and a live graduation showcase.

$700/month

By the end, you'll have all of this.

Who this is for — and who it isn't.
