As part of its dedication to serving Lenawee County, the non-profit Adrian Armory Events Center is building a commercial kitchen for use by small food producers who would like to expand their sales beyond farm markets.
The Kitchen will provide a health- department-licensed space with professional cooking equipment, commercial refrigeration units, and restaurant-grade sinks.
