Скачать или смотреть Moon Bakeshop with Tom & Maddie Watkins

In this episode, we reconnect with Maddie and Tom Watkins, owners of Moon Bakeshop in downtown Huntsville. Since opening their doors in 2019—just one week before welcoming their first child—the couple has built more than just a bakery. They've built a community staple.

We talk about the early days of Moon, the challenges of starting a business with no prior experience, and how they weathered the uncertainty of COVID-19 through grit, creativity, and the support of their loyal customers. Tom shares his roots in the food industry and an apprenticeship that lit the fire for a culinary career, while Maddie talks about leaving a career in graphic design to follow her passion for baking.

We explore the day-to-day realities of small business ownership, the importance of adaptability, and their commitment to crafting everything from scratch. Whether you're a fan of their peach pastries, a Saturday regular, or someone dreaming of starting your own venture—this conversation offers heart, honesty, and a behind-the-scenes look at a business that’s as much about people as it is pastries.
