9 Miles East

Overview

9 Miles East Farm has built a strong brand and a base of thousands of regular customers through years of consistently delivering high-quality locally-sourced food to the Capital District and Metro Boston areas. The founders of the farm are now planning to establish a larger production kitchen and 40 seat dining room in a great central location in Saratoga Springs, NY. This new restaurant will be operated under the recently established 9 Miles East Saratoga LLC and will be a separate business from the 9 Miles East Farm. The new dining room will make the farm’s award-winning pizza and other meals available for higher-margin on-premise consumption, and improve operational efficiency for the delivery operation. The new kitchen will also house an expanded production kitchen for 9 Miles East Farm’s GO Boxes and other meals delivered through workplace wellness and subscription meal delivery channels. We’ve simply outgrown our current kitchen on the farm.

• Production Kitchen: $50,000
• Renovation of Dining Room and Product Assembly Area: $30,000
• Working Capital: $4,600
• MainVest Compensation: $5,400
