About Wylder Space 
Santa Cruz County’s Premier Catering Company & Home of Kitchen-Based Business Mentorship

First, You’re Likely Here Because You Need a Caterer…

You’re planning a wedding, retreat, or corporate event — and you want it to mean something.
Not just beautiful food, but food that tells a story. Nourishes. Connects. Reflects your values.
That’s where Wylder Space begins:
We’re the top-rated farm-to-table catering company in Santa Cruz County, crafting events that feel deeply rooted in place, season, and tradition.
 From grazing boards to plated dinners, every menu is customized. Every detail? Handled.




Something Deeper Has Happened…

As we cooked, preserved, and served across the mountains, we heard a new question again and again:
“How did you start this business?”
That spark led us to something bigger — not just feeding people, but guiding them.
We wrote a cookbook, began teaching canning + food preservation classes, and before long…
We were mentoring women who wanted to launch food businesses from their home kitchens.

 

Now, We’re Doing Both — And You’re Invited

If you’re planning a memorable event → We want to cater it for you!

If you’re dreaming of starting a food-based side hustle → We’ll help you!



What Makes Wylder Space Different?

  • We’ve lived every step of this ourselves.
    From hand-labeling jars to getting licensed by the county health department, we’ve done it all — and we’ve figured out the simple way so you don’t have to.
  • We carved a niche that didn’t exist.
    There was no template for farm-to-table catering + education + mentorship in one brand. So we created it.
  • We’re not gatekeeping.
    Whether it’s AI tools, easy canning hacks, or business shortcuts — if we’ve learned something useful, we’re sharing it all with you.

Our Philosophy

You don’t need to “have it all together.” You just need a starting place.
Whether that’s a menu for your retreat, or a dream for your own food product —
we’ll meet you where you are and walk with you the rest of the way.
