Please join us in welcoming Stephen Grider to the Mill Street Market team!

Stephen joins us as our Kitchen & Culinary Education Director, bringing nearly three decades of experience as an executive chef, entrepreneur, market gardener, educator, and community builder.

Stephen's career has been grounded in a belief that fits naturally with the vision for Mill Street Market: food has the power to build community.

As we prepare to open, Stephen will play a key role in developing and launching our incubator kitchen and culinary education programs, while also working alongside our Farm Stop & Cafe team and helping create opportunities for local farmers, bakers, cooks, food entrepreneurs, and small businesses.

For Stephen, the vision goes well beyond the kitchen. He sees Mill Street Market as a place where a new food entrepreneur can get their start, a farmer can find another market for their harvest, neighbors can share a meal, families can learn together, and community partners can collaborate on new ideas.

In Stephen's words: “We are not simply building a market. We are building community, and the market is the place where that community gathers.”

We're excited to have Stephen join Allison, Anne, and the growing Mill Street Market team as we move closer to opening our doors and bringing this vision to life.

Welcome to Mill Street Market, Stephen!
