Our Vision for Nantucket
To be the heart of Nantucket’s food community—a dynamic and inclusive hub that cultivates a sustainable, resilient, and equitable local food system for generations to come.
Our Mission
The Hive exists to empower Nantucket’s food entrepreneurs, farmers, and makers by providing accessible state-of-the-art kitchen facilities, comprehensive business support, and a collaborative public environment. We foster food innovation and community engagement to build a stronger, more sustainable, and year-round local food economy.
Making it happen

We foster food innovation and community engagement to build a stronger, more sustainable, and year-round local food economy.
Activating On Our Values
It takes an island
Building the Path for Sustainable and Lasting Change
By providing The Hive Makers with affordable, safe, and professionally equipped kitchen space, along with mentorship and opportunities for sales and community engagement, Remain aims to help food entrepreneurs build resilient businesses and achieve their long-term goals.
In turn, the island community benefits from and supports a thriving local food economy; one enriched by locally made products, regionally sourced ingredients, and innovative Nantucket-based food businesses.
Over time, Remain hopes to graduate successful Makers from The Hive, creating space for a continually evolving pipeline of local entrepreneurs to take advantage of the facility’s resources, programs, and opportunities.
“Rethinking the way we produce, distribute and share food is more essential than ever. Establishing an accessible, shared-space commissary kitchen on Nantucket at The Hive will further the ongoing island efforts to support local farmers and Makers while also expanding the local and regional food systems.”
