Are you a chef, fermenter, baker, or food producer of sorts ready to stop renting your livelihood and start owning your future? Are you a farmer that needs a kitchen or hands for processing and cold storage? Are you a concerned individual with some business acumen, a bit of time, drive and desire to build something high impact?
Zeromile has a mission to build a worker-owned and run cooperative kitchen and market, and we are inviting a core group of dedicated producers and individuals to become founding members. We aren't just building a commercial space; we are constructing a food hub designed to dismantle gatekeeping in the food industry, and center the people who grow and cook the food.
Our Mission is clear: To build out a fully equipped, worker-owned kitchen where the people who work here hold the keys, the equity, and the decision-making power.
Our Vision is bold: To co-create a resilient ecosystem that bolsters local foodways, empowers small-scale producers with affordable access to resources, and actively supports food education, food security and mutual aid efforts in our community.
Why Join us as a Worker-Owner?
Ownership & Equity: You aren't just a tenant; you are a co-owner. You have a vote in governance, a share in the profits, and a voice in our strategic direction.
Affordable Access: Gain access to a fully equipped facility (commercial kitchen + specialized lab) at rates designed to keep you profitable, not just solvent.
Shared Resources: Leverage bulk purchasing, shared marketing, collective bookkeeping and other back-end services to reduce your overhead.
Community Impact: A portion of our success will directly fund mutual aid projects, food security and sovereignty initiatives, subsidize training, support local farmers and more.
>> Small to medium producers with an established customer base.
>> Small to medium size growers who could use resourced with processing and distro.
>> Beginning producers with a decent amount of time for sweat equity.
>> Producers whose products align with our ethics and mission of well-being.
>> Producers who align with our greater vision of shared revenue and mutual aid projects.
>> Investors with aligned values. Silent or, like all members, one vote, regardless of total or ongoing investment amount.
We are looking for partners who believe that food is a right, not a commodity, and that the best food systems are built from the ground up by the people who feed us.
