A New Chapter Begins - for With Flour in Her Hair

A New Home For With Flour

Hello friends and flourers,

I’m Brita, the founder of With Flour in Her Hair — a farm-to-table catering company rooted in local soil and thoughtful hospitality. This business was built on the belief that food has the power to gather, nourish, and connect us.

Over the years, many of you have gathered around my tables — for weddings, nonprofit fundraisers, backyard dinners, or brought my food into your homes through weekly menus, holiday spreads, and special-occasion cakes. Every meal has been a reminder that this community is at the heart of everything I do.

Now, I’m stepping into an exciting new chapter.

A Permanent Home for With Flour

After four years of searching (and more than a few almosts), I’ve found the space I’ve been dreaming of — a cozy, sunlit commercial kitchen and event venue in Lynn, MA, that can host up to 70 guests. It’s the kind of place that feels like it was made for what I’ve always wanted to build: a true home for beautiful food and meaningful gatherings on the North Shore.

This new space will allow me to expand With Flour in Her Hair in powerful, intentional ways:

Seasonal, locally sourced catering- throughout the North Shore

Community suppers, pop-up dinners, brunches, and events

Workshops and hands-on cooking classes

Collaborations with nonprofits and aligned organizations

A small in-house pantry and retail market

But this isn’t just about growth — it’s about deepening roots. This is about creating a lasting space for community, sustainability, and story-driven hospitality.

Why I’m Raising Funds

Thanks to an incredible angel investor, the foundational costs of securing the space and kitchen have been covered. But to truly bring this vision to life, there are still essential pieces I need help funding.

This fundraiser will help cover:

Hiring support staff and apprentices

Initial event costs (tables, signage, packaging)

Pop-up retail infrastructure

Rent overlap and operational cushion

Bringing warmth and intention into the space — creating a place that truly feels like home

What You're Supporting

This isn’t just a business — it’s a community hub, built on values that matter deeply:

A queer woman-owned business expanding during one of the hardest times for small, independent makers

A commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing

Partnerships with local farms and nonprofits

Creating good jobs and learning opportunities in food

A space for storytelling, nourishment, and meaningful human connection

If you’ve ever attended a dinner, ordered a holiday cake, or shared a galette with a friend — you already know what this is about. And if you’re just getting to know With Flour, welcome — there’s always a seat at the table.

Thank you for believing in this dream. I can’t wait to open the doors and gather with you again — around beautiful tables, with flour in our hair.

With love & flour,

Brita
