Welcome to Olive & Barley: A Kitchen with a Purpose

Every great meal begins with a single ingredient. Every great idea starts with a spark. And every strong community is built on the foundation of sharing, supporting, and serving.

At Olive & Barley, we believe that food is more than sustenance—it’s a way to connect, create, and give back. That’s why we’re building a collaborative kitchen space designed for food entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and culinary creators who want to bring their visions to life.

More Than Just a Kitchen

Olive & Barley is not your typical commercial kitchen. Our space is designed to empower food businesses, foster collaboration, and support the community in new and meaningful ways. Whether you’re a food truck operator, caterer, baker, nonprofit, or someone with a passion for the culinary arts, our goal is to provide the tools, resources, and support you need to succeed.

And it doesn’t stop there. A key part of our mission is to serve those in need, ensuring that food is not only a tool for business but also a way to fight food insecurity in Northwest Arkansas.

The Future is Cooking

The doors to Olive & Barley aren’t open just yet, but exciting things are happening behind the scenes. Construction is underway, and soon, we’ll be welcoming members who are ready to turn their ideas into reality.

Until then, we invite you to follow our journey, get involved, and be a part of something bigger. Whether it’s through donations, partnerships, or simply spreading the word, your support helps bring this vision to life.

If you’re interested in joining our community—whether as a food entrepreneur, nonprofit partner, or supporter—stay connected with us. Together, we can build something that feeds more than just stomachs—we can feed opportunity, creativity, and change.

Follow along for updates, and let’s build something amazing together.
