Mission

Love, KK’s mission is to empower local small businesses, farmers, and the people in the community with an entrepreneurial spirit by providing awareness, educational assistance, resources, and learning experiences. 

Profile

Love, KK was founded in honor of Kaeley “KK” Brady’s life and her passion for supporting local farmers, and small businesses. KK’s passion was ignited when she started working with Cheryl Strasser at Cowbell Kitchen, a local food truck and catering company in Leesburg, VA. KK became passionate about selling her smoothie bowls and recipes through Cowbell Kitchen and eventually became a partial owner. Through her time at farmers markets, KK cultivated a strong appreciation for collaborating with local farms and small businesses. She saw firsthand the significant difference that supporting local enterprises could make and made it her mission to spread the message of shopping locally. Her commitment to using local ingredients in Cowbell’s recipes not only fueled her work but also inspired those around her to recognize the value of local products. We work to keep KK's vision, passion, and style alive by empowering others with the same entrepreneurial spirit we saw in KK.
