I made a few small changes to the page, and I will explain why. The omission of specialty food manufactuing as a typical use in an kitchen incubator leaves out the majority of businesses that use incubator facilities. I added that reference so that people researching ways to start a company manufacturing specialty products for wholesale would find the page more useful and accurate.

I changed the link from "food hygiene" to "food safety", since the former was very thin on useful information, and the latter had much more detail and reference to assist people interested in learning about good manufactuing or food handling practices.

I also added a link to the Western Mass Food Center, which is one of the more successful kitchen incubators in the US.

I hope these changes make the information more useful.

Citation Added. Why reverted time again??[edit]

This article has not "one" Citation and rambles on about the subject. It's importance as a subject may be of interest to the author. Several times I added a reference by a highly reputable Philadelphia based consulting firm, doing a study of industry with no claims of promotional interests in any of the "Kitchens". MrOllie gives not reason, except promotional? I say the entire article is promoting a business that is not documented. I do not understand the objection. Please explain fully.

It's a self published study by a consulting firm. It's not a source that meets Wikipedia's guidelines. If this was a 'highly reputable consulting firm' you probably wouldn't have to write promotional articles about them and try to place citations to them. - MrOllie (talk) 17:11, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is a neutral point of view and meets that standard. The lead author is Mr. Heller who was Director of The Enterprise Center Community Development Corporation (2009-2012), where he managed the development of the Center for Culinary Enterprises, turning a vacant 13,000 square foot building into one of the nation’s most comprehensive food-business incubators. He is an expert.http://www.econsultsolutions.com/our-people/senior-advisors/mr-gregory-heller/ The comment about Econsult Corp spin off of Econsult Solutions is yet to resolved over the longer term and Wiki statement is still at issue. Often in print are the principles of the ESI company as Stephen P. Mullin, President of Econsult Solutions Inc. Example here in Oct 21, 2013, 8:48am EDT Updated: Oct 21, 2013, 9:50am EDT Let's get rid of the term "Delaware Valley" http://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/morning_roundup/2013/10/lets-get-rid-of-the-term-delaware.html So the conclusion reached about being promotional, seems unfounded. More importantly this article has been questioned by wiki and needs citations. Just trying to help with that. Pretzelfactory (talk)

Good Luck in refinement of the subject. Pretzelfactory (talk)
