At The Historic Salem Courthouse, The Battenkill Kitchen, an approximately 800 square foot New York State certified commercial kitchen, has been the heart of countless food focused activities for many years. Managed by volunteers since 2013, the kitchen has hosted cooking classes and nutritional awareness activities for both adults and children, as the meal preparation site for events and fundraisers, and a place where small food entrepreneurs can build their businesses.
