Beloved Idaho Bakery Asks for Help as Owner Faces Cancer Battle

We're lucky here in the Treasure Valley to be home to so many locally owned businesses. It seems that in the Treasure Valley, folks understand the importance of supporting local as often as possible and we're totally here for it.

From breweries to restaurants, bakeries to furniture-- there's a local solution for nearly everything!

One local business, which has grown to be quite popular and has developed a true 'cult-like' following is Hudson Baking Company in Kuna, Idaho. The small bakery cranks out everything sourdough-- from cinnamon rolls to loaves and even chocolate sourdough! It's amazing!

Take a look inside Hudson Baking Company in Kuna, Idaho, to see exactlywhy everyone loves them so much! 

If you haven't been to Hudson--what are you waiting for!? 

Some unfortunate news broke this week surrounding Hudson Baking Company and now, they're asking for help from the community.

Owner and baker, Aaron Hudson, has been diagnosed with metastatic cancer.

After battling cancer just three years ago, it has resurfaced--aggressively.

A graduate of Boise High School and a veteran of the United States Army--Aaron is a perfect example of what it means to be a local business owner--constantly participating in local charitable events and finding ways to give back to the place that has always been home.

Aaron's wife, Anna, shared on their GoFundMe page:

This news has shattered our family, our sweet small-town bakery, and the entire community. Aaron is a hard-working and dedicated individual who has always put his family, community, and craft first. He has baked countless treats for schools, churches, police and fire departments, and various gatherings, tirelessly working around the clock to connect people with the food they eat. We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support we have received from our community. As Aaron navigates treatment, we hope to keep our shop doors open and continue raising our family.

One way to support the family is to visit the bakery, of course. Another would be to give any amount that you could to help Aaron's family afford the life-saving treatment.
