About us

What we do

The Tiffin Community Kitchen is a teaching kitchen that provides educational opportunities to the people of Tiffin & Seneca County.

The Tiffin Community Kitchen is part of Seneca County Common Ground, a nonprofit organization created in 2019 to support local food & agriculture and promote access to and knowledge of fresh foods for Seneca County residents. This project fits perfectly within several of the goals of our Comprehensive Plan for community development. The economic and quality of life benefits will be exponential.
