Commercial Kitchen Rental

Moonlight Kitchens


Moonlight Kitchens offers a fresh incubator atmosphere, two full commercial kitchens, a work room, storage, and a cleaning area. We’re geared toward small manufacturers, caterers, and food truck operators. We support our neighbors and promote our local farmers. You can help connect local food to local people.

SUPPORT

We are seeking food entrepreneurs and artisans who love the art of food. If you are looking for an inspiring home base to cook, bake, and create in a supportive environment Moonlight Kitchens is for you. We are particularly looking for people who want to source local and organic ingredients as a large part of their production philosophy. Missoula’s food scene is booming and we make every effort to help our new cooks thrive.

FLEXIBILITY

Moonlight Kitchens is designed for commercial cooking but individuals can use the kitchens for group cooking and canning, girls-night-out or a unique birthday party, and personal projects. Chefs can use the space to test recipes or create an intimate dinner.

OUTREACH

We offer a variety of cooking classes to the public and collaborate with local businesses on regular “openings” that promote our cooks’ products. We also work with our local farmers to offer bulk purchasing and seasonal specials to reduce ingredient costs and improve flavor.
