Nourish Our Community

At 10C Shared Space, we’ve been on a mission to build a strong, inclusive, and sustainable community through collaborative projects and lasting partnerships. One of our most impactful initiatives is Nourish—a shared community kitchen.

Nourish supports local food entrepreneurs and offers valuable food education for community members of all ages – including youth. The Nourish kitchen is at full capacity, bustling with activities like cooking classes, catering for community events, prepared food products, and local food enterprises. Nourish has made food the heart of community.

10C is also strengthening community and local food through the Guelph Farmers’ Market. As Guelph & Wellington’s largest indoor/outdoor market, over 100 vendors serve 2,500 people per week, all year round. This vibrant space expands on 10C’s local food activities, and we are building a second commercial kitchen at the Farmers’ Market to expand activities by 300%.
