CARRYING FORWARD
Dylan’s Cottage Bakery
honors tradition, family
BY DAVID CAMPICHE
Dylan Harrell was as sweet as a little
girl could be.
After being diagnosed and fi ghting a
20-month battle with diffuse intrinsic pon-
tine glioma, an incurable cancer, she passed
away in April 2020.
Harrell loved to bake. Her parents, Jeff
and Casey Harrell, took her into Cottage
Bakery and Delicatessen, where owners
Bob and Judi Andrew let her experiment in
the bakery’s kitchen.
In 2020, the bakery was up for sale.
After Judi Andrew asked Jeff Harrell
whether they’d be interested in buying
the bakery, the Harrells made an offer and
were joined by Mark and Lindy Swain,
Casey Harrell’s sister and brother-in-law.
The group wanted to serve the community
while honoring and remembering Dylan
Harrell.
After their offer was accepted, the group
rebranded the bakery as Dylan’s Cottage
Bakery and Delicatessen.
The bakery, the oldest business in town,
dates back to 1908. The Andrews ran the
bakery for 46 years before the Harrells and
Swains took over.
Baker’s hours are early hours. The work
is strenuous. Something wonderful happens
when dough rises; when breads and pas-
tries are pulled from a hot oven; and when
smells waft, making stomachs growl.
