What is a farm kitchen?

A farm kitchen is a dedicated space on a farm where food is prepared, processed, or cooked, often using ingredients grown or raised on the property. These kitchens can be used for preparing meals for farm staff, hosting farm-to-table events, or producing value-added products such as jams, baked goods, or preserves. Farm kitchens may also be designed to meet health and safety standards required for commercial food production, allowing farmers to sell their products directly to consumers or at markets.
