“We have always dreamed of owning a family bakery with our two sons. We feel so blessed to have this opportunity and are beyond grateful to First Southwest Bank and First Southwest Community Fund for working with us to make it happen. We’re excited to bring our passion for baking and coffee to the community and carry on the beautiful business that was built here.”—Aimee and Jonathan, Owners, Raisin’ Rye Bakery, Del Norte
