Taproot Kitchen brings people together through food.
We begin with abundance – the harvest of local farms, the expertise of local chefs and entrepreneurs, and the talents of neighbors seeking ways to contribute. We invite these gifts to the same table – creating ways for people of all abilities to work, learn, teach, create and belong together.
Working with local farmers, gleaning partners, and job seekers of all abilities, we transform seasonal harvests and surplus food into creative dishes that celebrate the abundance of our region.
You’ll find Taproot Kitchen at farmers markets, around community tables, and through our catering, creating opportunities and building a more sustainable and inclusive community.
Let us bring Taproot Kitchen to your table.

We believe belonging grows when people have meaningful ways to contribute.
“Taproot is a place where I’m learning skills. I really like to cook, and I’ve always wanted to be a waiter. I love learning to cook food from other countries, especially Indian food, but also pierogies and other Polish treats. I have so much fun cooking with my friends.”
– Jamie Berube
“I like Taproot Kitchen. We get to do cooking training classes. We went to Gemelli Bakery and learned how to bake. We went to Fasta Pasta and made gnocchi. I feel good about Taproot because I can make salads now. My favorite is tofu salad!”
