The Incubator | Sincerely Kitchen
Cohort 1 · September 2026

Go from recipe to retail
in 6 months.

A structured cohort program for career changers who are serious about turning their food idea into a real business. Fraser Health approved. Market-ready. Retail-ready.

4–5 spots available
24 Saturday sessions
$3,150 total program fee
200+ businesses launched from SK

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.

Great fit ✓
  • Career changer entering food full-time
  • Have a product idea or informal sales
  • Can commit to Saturdays for 6 months
  • Want structure, coaching, and a cohort
  • No prior business experience needed
Not the right fit
  • Already have an active food business
