NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — It is nearly summer at the Nashville Farmers Market, inside you will find a lot of patrons and plenty of spots to eat, but now there is a new addition that opened last month called the Grow Local Commissary.
"The Grow Local Commissary (GLC) is a brand new, rentable shared kitchen space built to help support farmers, bakers, food artisans, and more in crafting value-added products that, in turn, strengthen the local supply chain and provide diversified revenue streams for those small, local businesses," the Nashville Farmers Market's website said.
Six different businesses can work at their respective stations at one time. It was made possible through a grant from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture.
It is open 24/7 and costs $25 an hour to rent a station. Some of the equipment does cost extra, but there are a lot of tools to work with at the GLC.
In order to use the space you need to fill out an application, provide documents, and be onboarded.

This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
