Grant Request Summary
*******************************************************************************************
NOTE: THIS PRE-APPLICATION HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN BY THE APPLICANT
*******************************************************************************************
It is very much our desire to bring donuts, drip coffee and light bites to the Woodstock business district. We look forward to serving the vibrant local community as well as tourists. In order for this to happen, we need a space with a commercial kitchen that has a hood. Such a space does not currently exist, unfortunately.
We are in process of designing a commercial kitchen to put into an existing space that is a blank box. It has become clear that a commercial kitchen is quite expensive, the hood/exhaust system being the largest ticket item. Any grant money received would be put into the equiptment needed for said kitchen. This kitchen would remain and be a part of Woodstock for future restaurants to set up shop and call home.
Project Budget
$10,000 - $14,999
Desired Grant Amount
$10,000 - $14,999

Project Timeframe

How will this project benefit the economic and community development of Woodstock?
Our goal for Farmer & the Bell is to make Woodstock a destination for food, retail and experience while creating a hub for locals to enjoy. We look forward to revitalizing the downtown with new food offerings that brings an energy that inspires both hyper local, surrounding towns and tourists alike. We look forward to supporting and telling the story of local farms and businesses though our ingredients and offerings.
