Food Web

Food Web connects food entrepreneurs with the licensed commercial kitchens they need to grow. Proudly built in Nova Scotia.

We help kitchens earn more revenue from unused space — and help food businesses launch, scale, and succeed. Food Web is your one-stop hub for strengthening local food economies in Atlantic Canada. By mapping the food ecosystem and building infrastructure for food entrepreneurs, we aim to revitalize communities from farm to table. We serve a broad clientele, including food producers, farmers, restaurants, non-profits & academic institutions, helping them navigate the complex landscape of our food systems. Whether you're seeking kitchen rentals, food-related consulting, sustainability assessments, or educational workshops, we have you covered. Let's transform the future of food, together. Services:

Kitchen Rentals: Rent a fully-equipped, licensed kitchen by the hour, tailored to the needs of small-scale food entrepreneurs. Our flexible model lets you grow at your own pace, without the overheads. Consulting & Research: Let us help you navigate the complexities of the food system. Whether you're an academic or government institution, a food producer, or a non-profit, we offer targeted research and strategy solutions. We can aid in policy analysis, program development or helping facilitate community consultations/engagement. Food Education: From hands-on cooking classes to workshops on food sustainability and systemic issues, we offer a diverse range of educational programs. Our curriculum is designed to inform, empower, and inspire individuals and organizations alike.

Imagine a platform where Facebook, Google Maps, and Wikipedia meet for food! 🍏

Our vision is a comprehensive platform with chat forums, job postings, directories, and a map of all food assets like community gardens and farmer's markets. Plus, an app store for further innovation.

If you're a builder or in the software space with something unique to offer, reach out to us! How would you like to see this platform evolve?

This year, we're focusing on calling in broken systems, not calling out individuals. Mistakes are often not personal but systemic, built on long-standing issues. It's time for change.

How do we advocate for better alignment in government departments that aim to support business development?

Every local food system is a web of connections: farms, fisheries, markets and kitchens.

You can map yours for free with Food Web Maps. Your map draws on live Food Web data, so it doesn't go stale like a spreadsheet. If a place is missing, anyone signed in can suggest it, and a curator approves it before it goes live. Update a place once, and every map that includes it updates too.

What would you want on a map of your community?

In some agricultural communities, the type of crop grown can shape the way people collaborate. Rice farmers often need complex irrigation systems that require cooperation beyond individual farm borders, fostering a collectivist culture. Meanwhile, wheat farmers, who rely more on rainfall and independent irrigation, tend to be more individualistic.

How do you think these farming practices influence community relationships?

What if you could just ask your AI who grows food near you?

Now you can. Connect Food Web to Claude once, then ask in plain words. Claude searches the live Food Web map for you, and you can save what it finds as a map anyone can open.

Building an app for your food community? It's the same data through one API.

Start at api.foodweb.network

What would you ask it first?

Who feeds your community, and how are they all connected?

With Food Web Maps you can search your region for farms, markets and kitchens, then make your own map for free. Pick the places that matter, connect the dots between who supplies, who partners and who distributes, then copy the embed code to put it on your website.

Start yours at maps.foodweb.network

Who's the first place you'd put on your map?

10/07/2026

We kept hearing the same thing: there's no single place to see a local food system — the kitchens, food banks, farms, markets and food hubs that make it up.

So we built Food Web Maps. Search your area for free and see what's already there.

Want to go further? Build your own custom map for a project, an event or your whole neighbourhood, and share it with your team.

As the season begins to wind down, your kitchen doesn’t have to. 🍳

For many small communities, the off-season means fewer visitors, fewer bookings, and a lot more unused kitchen hours.

Tourism Nova Scotia data shows just how sharp that seasonal shift can be: outside Halifax, accommodation occupancy was 74% in August 2025, but only 34% in January.

Your kitchen is already built, equipped, and costing money whether it’s busy or not.

Food Web helps you put those available hours to work by connecting your kitchen with food businesses looking for space.

It’s free to sign up.

Keep your kitchen working, even when the season slows down.

👉 List your kitchen at foodweb.network

À mesure que la saison ralentit, votre cuisine n’a pas à en faire autant. 🍳

Dans de nombreuses petites communautés, la basse saison signifie moins de visiteurs, moins de réservations et beaucoup plus d’heures où les cuisines restent inutilisées.

Les données de Tourisme Nouvelle-Écosse montrent à quel point ce changement peut être important : à l’extérieur d’Halifax, le taux d’occupation des hébergements était de 74 % en août 2025, contre seulement 34 % en janvier.

Votre cuisine est déjà là, équipée et entraîne des coûts, qu’elle soit utilisée ou non.

Food Web vous aide à mettre ces heures disponibles à profit en vous mettant en relation avec des entreprises alimentaires à la recherche d’un espace.

L’inscription est gratuite.

Gardez votre cuisine active, même lorsque la saison ralentit.

Some pretty exciting news for Food Web! 🚀

We’re thrilled to share that Food Web Asset has been selected for the Growth Stream of Invest Nova Scotia’s 2026–2027 Accelerate program!

Through the program, Food Web will receive $30,000 in funding, along with dedicated sales training and guidance to help us continue growing what we’re building.

Our goal has always been bigger than simply renting kitchens. We’re working to make underused food infrastructure easier to find, access and put to work, starting with commercial kitchen space and building from there.

Having Invest Nova Scotia support that vision is an exciting step forward for our team.

A huge thank you to Invest Nova Scotia, and congratulations to the other companies selected for this cohort. We’re looking forward to what comes next. 🍳🌱

Une excellente nouvelle pour Food Web! 🚀

Nous sommes ravis d’annoncer que Food Web Asset a été sélectionnée pour le volet Croissance du programme Accelerate 2026–2027 d’Invest Nova Scotia!

Grâce à ce programme, Food Web recevra 30 000 $ en financement, ainsi qu’un accompagnement spécialisé en vente et des conseils pour nous aider à poursuivre notre croissance.

Depuis le début, notre objectif va bien au-delà de la simple location de cuisines. Nous travaillons à rendre les infrastructures alimentaires sous-utilisées plus faciles à trouver, à utiliser et à mettre en valeur, en commençant par les espaces de cuisine commerciale.

Le soutien d’Invest Nova Scotia représente une étape importante dans la réalisation de cette vision.

Un grand merci à Invest Nova Scotia, et félicitations aux autres entreprises sélectionnées pour cette cohorte. Nous avons hâte de voir la suite! 🍳🌱

One booking turned into an ongoing partnership. 🍽️🤝

We’re excited to share that The Whale House and Pierogi Girls have created an ongoing kitchen rental partnership through the Food Web Kitchens platform!

This is exactly what Food Web is built for: connecting food businesses that need space with kitchens that have space available, then helping those connections grow into something lasting.

For Pierogi Girls, it means reliable access to the kitchen space they need to keep creating and growing.

For The Whale House, it means putting available kitchen capacity to work and generating additional revenue from existing infrastructure.

And for us? It’s pretty exciting to see a connection made through Food Web turn into an ongoing working relationship.

Here’s to many more. 🍳

Une réservation qui devient un partenariat à long terme. 🍽️🤝

Nous sommes ravis d’annoncer que The Whale House et Pierogi Girls ont créé un partenariat continu de location de cuisine grâce à la plateforme Food Web Kitchens!

C’est exactement pour ce genre de connexion que Food Web existe : mettre en relation les entreprises alimentaires qui ont besoin d’espace avec les cuisines qui disposent de capacité, puis permettre à ces relations de se développer dans le temps.

Pour Pierogi Girls, cela signifie un accès fiable à l’espace de cuisine dont elles ont besoin pour poursuivre leur croissance.

Pour The Whale House, c’est une façon de mettre à profit sa capacité disponible et de générer des revenus supplémentaires à partir d’infrastructures existantes.

Et pour nous? C’est particulièrement encourageant de voir une connexion créée grâce à Food Web évoluer vers une véritable relation de travail à long terme.

À beaucoup d’autres partenariats comme celui-ci. 🍳
