GOOD reports on a venture in the bay area to found a food incubator, Local Food Lab. Interestingly, the founders are silicon valley entrepreneurs, no doubt intimately familiar with the tech incubators on which food incubators are modelled. But what the article doesn’t mention is that the food incubator concept is by no means unprecedented (rather like Facebook, for which one of the founders of Local Food Lab used to work – ha! Suck it, Zuckerberg, and your non-revolutionary invention which everyone thinks was revolutionary). A prominent example is CropCircle Kitchen in Boston. Indeed, some crafty developer minds are teaming up with East Baltimore Development Inc. to create just such a launchpad for food innovators in our own fair burg – the Baltimore Food Enterprise Center.
