Welcome to the fifth season of the Troubleshooting Innovation podcast, sponsored by the National Honey Board.

Joanie Spencer, editor-in-chief for Commercial Baking, talks with Rebecca Abel, owner of D’Vine Cookies in Taylor, MI. They're looking at cookie production through the lens of an entrepreneur, from starting a bakery, to moving into the first big facility, to strategic growth in operations and product development.

This episode explores Abel's experience of what it’s like to be the new kid on the industrial park block. She talks about her company's strategies for capital investments, the support she's received from having already well-established bakeries as her new neighbors, and beyond.
