Blue Ridge Food Ventures—where big ideas and secret recipes become small businesses and good eats. If anyone has ever tried your home-made goodies and said, “You should sell this,” or if you’ve always wanted to own your own food-related business but don’t know how or where to get started, you should contact Blue Ridge Food Ventures today. Why? Our experienced staff and 11,000 sq. ft. commercial kitchen facility can help you perfect, produce, and package and sell a wide variety of value-added food products. Come see why farmers, bakers, caterers and food entrepreneurs from across North Carolina travel to Asheville to create and sell unique food products.

Blue Ridge Food Ventures (BRFV), an initiative of Advantage-West Economic Development Group and the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, is a shared-use, value-added food processing center centrally located in Asheville to serve food entrepreneurs throughout western North Carolina. It provides services to those wishing to start or grow small businesses in the food industry, to local farmers who wish to add value to their products through processing, and to caterers and bakers needing a certified kitchen. This regional “kitchen incubator,” a first for North Carolina, joins others throughout the U.S. in spurring the development of small businesses, promoting local agriculture and creating jobs.
