Aaron sat down with Allie Smith the owner of Bramble Bakery Co. for this episode.
In the past if you saw a long line wrapped around the corner at the Waverly Farmers Market in Baltimore, most likely people were in line for Bramble. People in Baltimore love Bramble Bakery Co and once you taste their baked goods you know why right away. Bramble Bakery Co has a new home in Northeast Baltimore and I had that opportunity to speak with Allie about how she started her business.
Thank you
