A Kelowna couple is sinking their teeth into the vegan, gluten-free market with their delicious donuts.
Joel Murga and Jaide Hatfield, owners of Jaide & Joel香蕉视频直播檚 Bakery, have been creating donuts for businesses around the Okanagan Valley for the past year.
Starting their days at 4 a.m., the dynamic duo rents a commercial kitchen in Kelowna to bake roughly 300 donuts a day before delivering them to Nature香蕉视频直播檚 Fare stores in Vernon and Kelowna on Tuesdays and Fridays, and on Mondays and Thursdays in Penticton in West Kelowna.
Hatfield also has another part-time job and Murga is taking science classes at UBCO, which he said comes in handy with the donut creations.
