A native of State College, Bob Ricketts has been in the food manufacturing business since graduating from Penn State. He has grown Fasta & Ravioli Co. from a small storefront in downtown State College into an operation that serves customers and a dozen restaurants from its three locations in central Pennsylvania. Through donations to area philanthropies, participation in showcase events like United Way’s Taste of the Town, service on non-profit boards, and a commitment to literacy programs, Bob is living his father’s words: “remember to always give back.” Bob also just opened Kitchen Incb., a micro kitchen for food innovators to develop, test, and produce concepts of all things relating to food. A learning kitchen for classes of all manner, ages and ethnicities. A place for fun, food, group indulgence and organizations to fundraise. A project in social entrepreneurship, giving back and bringing you closer to your food.
