Creating an incubator where culinary businesses can create, grow, and thrive. Hence- B 'More Made with Pride Commercial Kitchen.
Project Description
My Name is Natasha also know as the Brittle Queen. In summer of 2009, I simply wanted to teach my daycare children a lesson in business fundamentals. In December 2009, Natasha's Just Brittle was born. Fast forward to August 2016, I decided to close my daycare center after 21 years in the industry and stepped out on faith to operate Natasha's Just Brittle full time. Fast forward to 2017, Natasha's Just Brittle has been featured on QVC and is now in Whole Foods and other grocers across the State of Maryland. Fast forward to 2018, Natasha's Just Brittle production facility also serves as a dual Commercial kitchen so that culinary artisans can realize their entrepreneurial dreams. Inside Natasha's Just Brittle Production facility reside B'More Made with Pride Commercial Kitchen. It is an affordable, clean culinary hub where up to 40 businesses can produce, cook and sell their wares. It is my mission to create job opportunities for the youth of Baltimore City. It is my mission to create a space where the community can enjoy some unique food and yummy sweets. It is my mission to teach children to cook. It is my mission to create a legacy for my children. Our Commercial Kitchen is 80% finished and we need your help in bringing all the pieces together. Check out the sweet treats that you will receive for your support. I along with the artisans of B'More Made with Pride Commercial Kitchen thank you.
