Our pilot production facility in the vibrant Mott Haven area of the Bronx  is co-located with a hospitality campus which will serve as a hub for culinary innovation and experiential marketing. Village Spice will empower emerging brands to access the business-to-business and business-to-consumer marketplace. Equipped with state-of-the-art studio facilities, tasting room and inspiring event spaces, the Village Spice will provide a one-stop destination for emerging brands to build out their social media presence, hone their experiential marketing programs and strengthen their direct-to-consumer infrastructure.

The Hub will build strategic alliances with other key stakeholders in the food sector. The campus will support and engage the next generation of chefs, restaurateurs and event professionals, working with them as direct clients as well as cultural ambassadors. The Hub will build out a network of regional and national foods distributors and retailers, and in this way serve a trusted access point for new brands that are positioned to scale.

By providing cutting edge collaborative infrastructure for food product development, manufacturing, and marketing, Village Spice @ The NY Food Innovation Hub is poised to drive sustainable economic growth and create high-value job opportunities. We seek to further enhance New York’s position as a leader in the future of food and create a replicable model for other urban food destinations.
