🍷👩‍🍳 COOKING WITH STRANGERS? 👀

Are you 45+ and still looking for your people?

Not a dating site. Not another app. Not awkward speed dating. Just real people, real conversations, great food, and maybe a few new friendships!

We're tossing around an idea for a NEW kind of cooking class at 525 Kitchen, and we want to know what you think!

Imagine spending two hours with 6–8 strangers in your age group who share similar interests, preparing a delicious four-course meal together, sipping your favorite BYOB beverage, laughing, swapping stories, and enjoying some genuinely good conversation.

No pressure. No expectations. Just a fun evening connecting with people you might never have met otherwise.

Who knows? You might walk in with strangers and leave with your next dinner crew, travel buddies, brunch besties, or a whole new friend group!

✨ The concept:
🍽️ Four courses, made together
🍷 BYOB
👩‍🍳 Two hours of hands-on cooking and conversation
👥 Small groups of 6–8 adults, ages 45+
💛 A chance to find your people, one recipe at a time!

So here's our question: WOULD YOU COME?

We're just exploring the idea right now, and your feedback will help us decide whether to make it happen!

👇 Comment YES, tag someone who might love this, or tell us what you think!

Come as strangers. Leave as friends. 💛

It's not just listeria and salmonella! Keeping food at temp, watching for opportunities in process improvement, food preservation education and sharing of information to our kitchen members is all part of being good community stewards for health and food protection. If we don't know the answer, we can find someone who does! And now, as a member of the Kentucky Food Protection Task Force, our resource list just got a lot larger!

🌱 Exciting things are happening at 525 Kitchen!

We are offically urban farmers!! I am so excited to share that 525 Kitchen has been awarded $33,779 through the USDA Specialty Crop Block Grant Program, administered by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture!

This three-year project will allow us to explore year-round microgreens production and develop a practical growing model for beginning farmers and small-scale producers. It's another opportunity for us to support local agriculture, encourage entrepreneurship, and find new ways to strengthen our local food system.

We're grateful to the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and USDA for their support and excited to be one of eight projects selected across the state.

And while we're so excited about this award, there's quite a bit more happening behind the scenes at 525 Kitchen! We have some big plans for the next couple of years, and we're looking forward to sharing more as things come together.

Lots of good things ahead for 525 Kitchen and our local food community! 🌱
