Ask about the kitchenMore than square footage
A practical place to make your next move.
Every food business starts from a different place. Homegrown DURM begins with a conversation—not a one-size-fits-all sales pitch. Tell us what you're making, what you're working toward, and what kind of support would help.
Who it's for
Built around independent food work.
These are some of the businesses we'd like to hear from. If your work looks different, reach out anyway—the first step is still a conversation.
Food trucks
A home base that understands a business on the move.
Bakers & makers
Room to take a recipe from idea to repeatable product.
Prepared-food brands
A place to build consistency and keep growing.
How to get started
