Hubs & Kitchens: Food Hubs, Commercial Community Kitchens, and Copackers in NC
Produced by NCGT and UFOODS.
Food hubs, commercial community kitchens, and copackers are intermediaries vital to the successful operation of supply chains connecting food that is grown in one area to consumers in that same area. This directory is designed to inform farmers and other food businesses of the location and services offered by these intermediaries.
The directory also provides grocery and food service buyers – including restaurants and institutional food service at universities and hospitals – with information on where they can find North Carolina food and farm products packed for retail and wholesale markets.
