Dawn Pascale, the Founder of Om Sweet Home
“Being a Hudson Kitchen member freed me up to work on sales and the growth of my company. My staff produces, and I’m not in the trenches, 7 days a week. It’s a huge relief.”

Najwa Khan, Founder of Dalci

“I was unsure how to start my business… it was daunting to figure out all the proper steps. Hudson Kitchen was a great place for us to test out products and recipes, and produce and fulfill orders. We were able to start off as a small producer and grow into a business that is supporting customers both online and in retail. The space also allowed us to connect with other brands and founders and learn how they navigated challenges. I’m still close to many of the brands I met at Hudson Kitchen when I first started today.”
