It's April 6th. Welcome to Vancouver News today, powered by AI. I'm Cori with the story. Deborah and Rocco Flores ditched their high-stress jobs to chase a calmer life, baking sourdough in Nova Scotia. She left her role with the RCMP. He stepped away from the medical field, and together they launched Rosie's sourdough studio just one year ago. Now they sling lows like jalapeno cheddar, at farmers markets and Halifax seaport and tantalon. It all kicked off as a stress-buster hobby, fueled by friends and neighbors who love the fresh, no-preservative goods. For Deborah, sourdough has been a gut saver since her Crohn's diagnosis at age 27, keeping her healthy without a ton of ingredients. The community rallied Har from day one, turning their neighborhood into a tight-knit crew and sparking repeat customers who dig the local vibe. Their daughter even jumps in, designing logos and market boards, while pre-orders keep things flowing smooth. Hitting the one-year mark feels like a win, after Rocco's earlier flop with Italian

food, now feedbacks glowing, and they hustle as a killer. Husband-wife team without clashing. No brick-and-mortar dreams here. Are they prized the freedom to travel and focus on family? This setup lets them savor Nova Scotia's beauty, support their crew, and build real bonds. Removing a simple loaf can make up the good life.
