Food nourishes us, connects us to our traditions and cultures, and creates jobs and economic opportunity in our communities. But limited access to fresh, healthy food, kitchen space, and entrepreneurial support has narrowed opportunities to meaningfully engage in local food systems. At Three Sisters Kitchen we believe that good food, health, and economic opportunity are for everyone. That is why we started our non-profit community food space, including a Cafe, Test Kitchen, Community Classroom, and Local Foods Shop. Three Sisters Kitchen makes fresh, local food accessible, affordable, and fun to cook, and creates pathways for food entrepreneurs to experiment and build businesses that succeed, contributing to a healthier and more vibrant community.

Three Sisters Kitchen was born from community conversations hosted by the DowntownABQ MainStreet Initiative and the Downtown Growers Market from 2015- 2017 with residents, community-based organizations, social service agencies, and business owners. In response to a community articulated need, the idea for Three Sisters Kitchen emerged to create a warm, welcoming space that celebrates and supports local food producers year-round, promotes a healthy community, and offers meaningful opportunities to engage in the local food system.

Three Sisters Kitchen fulfills a need and complements existing food and health programming in Albuquerque. Our spaces and our offerings support the incubation of new ideas and contribute towards our vision of a food-secure community with a vibrant culture of health and a deep commitment to food and economic justice.
