FERNDALE, Mich. – The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic doesn’t seem like the right time to launch a new business. Some might argue that’s not a compelling enough reason to try to start a business. Friends and family members counseled them on what a terrible idea it was to think about starting a small business during the shutdown. They got involved with a craft beer hub in Ferndale called The Ferndale Project, where they bake. One thing they all agreed on: It takes a village, even to sell bagels.
