NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — It is nearly summer at the Nashville Farmers Market, inside you will find a lot of patrons and plenty of spots to eat, but now there is a new addition that opened last month called the Grow Local Commissary.
"The Grow Local Commissary (GLC) is a brand new, rentable shared kitchen space built to help support farmers, bakers, food artisans, and more in crafting value-added products that, in turn, strengthen the local supply chain and provide diversified revenue streams for those small, local businesses," the Nashville Farmers Market's website said.
Six different businesses can work at their respective stations at one time. It was made possible through a grant from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture.
It is open 24/7 and costs $25 an hour to rent a station. Some of the equipment does cost extra, but there are a lot of tools to work with at the GLC.
In order to use the space you need to fill out an application, provide documents, and be onboarded.

Journalism is at its best when we can shine a light on an issue that needs more attention. Once again, Hannah McDonald does this beautifully by highlighting the hardships of teens aging out of the foster care system. I learned something new in her reporting and am inspired by the work I AM NEXT is doing to make a difference. I think you will be too!
