Meet Ali and Kevin Cohane, founders of Persephone Bakery, a woman-owned and operated bakery in Jackson, Wyoming. The Cohane’s met while both working in the restaurant business during busy ski seasons in the Tetons. They fell in love with the area, as well as with each other, and decided to pursue their dream of using their passion, science, and design to create something new and exciting within the community.

They decided to move to Paris to study culinary arts and then Chicago, Illinois to study design. Upon completion, they moved back to the Tetons and opened up a small wholesale production space. First were town square farmer’s markets, then a brick and mortar a block away, and now with three Jackson Hole coffee shops and cafe’s complimenting various parts of the valley, the Cohane’s are grateful to be able to share the time-honored traditions of French pastry in the wild west of Wyoming.

With the love and support of their community, they have built the foundation of their business; and to show their thanks, Persephone Bakery continually donates their time and goods back through nonprofits and charity events, making them an integral and caring part of their beloved forever home.
