A small mountain community in Kentucky has been hit hard by Appalachian poverty - an issue that is now all too common in the region that once fueled the Industrial Revolution.

As the coal industry becomes all but obsolete, unemployment throughout Appalachia continues to climb. But a bakery in Jackhorn is doing its part to bring hope back to the community.

Black Sheep Bakery is a community-owned social enterprise focused on providing jobs and job training for previously incarcerated individuals, recovering addicts, and those displaced from the mining industry.

The strength of the Appalachian people which once served to mine coal is now being harnessed to restore purpose and dignity.
