Nearly four years after opening Lift Bridge Cowork, Kaufenberg found herself looking into another project—now known as Chopper Mill—and she attributes the starting of that business to the support she received from the local female business community (and her kids, who consistently lost their mittens!). “Had it not been for Main Street and its supportive women, I may not have started Chopper Mill, and it’s the most fun I’ve had in my career to date,” she says. Chopper Mill is an e-commerce platform specializing in mittens for kids. It features a unique re/PAIR Plan, where the first single Chopper Mill mitten that’s lost is replaced for free, as well as a single replacement option. “I’m so thankful for all their support, and I can’t be more excited about their businesses,” she says.
