The cornerstone of CERES’s food focus is The Nourish Group (TNG) Incubator, which will also serve as a catalyst for transforming Chattahoochee Hills into a destination for food and beverage lovers.

Through the TNG Incubator, talented chefs will be transformed into successful entrepreneurs - restaurateurs with staying power. Upon completion of the program, our chefs will be supported in setting up their own concepts throughout the greater Chattahoochee Hills area. As the chef-driven concepts grow, so do opportunities for artisans, purveyors, crafts people, and farmers who supply the restaurants.

OPERATES LIKE A RESTAURANT

Fully-equipped and staffed venue will feature up to 3 independent, chef-driven food concepts ranging from fast-casual to casual dining.

EDUCATES & TRAINS LIKE A SCHOOL

Expert coaches, business trainers, and mentors prepare participants for long-term business success.

ROTATES CONCEPTS LIKE A POP-UP

Keeping it fresh and interesting, our talent and what we’re serving changes every 18 – 24 months.
