Bread
Hand-shaped loaves baked in a stone hearth oven. Most without commercial yeast — natural starters and a long fermentation.
Bagels · Baguette · Country White · Peasant Wheat · Cinnamon Raisin · rotating specialties.
Hand-shaped, hearth-baked, since 1998.
Mark and Geri Pollard's bakery and café in Haydenville, MA — just minutes from Northampton, on Rt. 9 at the Williamsburg line.
“The smell of good bread baking, like the sound of lightly flowing water, is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight.”
At Bread Euphoria
We are committed to bringing you the very best baked goods available, anywhere. We keep things simple. We never compromise the quality or purity of our ingredients for price. Most of our breads do not use commercial yeast — we prefer the flavor provided by natural starters and a long fermentation. We use organic and locally grown ingredients whenever possible. We pride ourselves on the variety of our products, from beautifully prepared standards like our baguettes or croissants to dynamic new combinations in our cakes, pizzas, sandwiches and scones. We are proud to belong to a community of small farms and locally-owned food producers whose products flavor our great-tasting, nutritious bread and baked goods.
