I have literally driven 80 miles from New Haven to buy this bread. It is so soulfully satisfying, it is often the featured item of my evening meal. My favorites are Sunny Flax, Peasant and Cherry Pecan, all of which offer a complex depth of flavor in place of the cloying sweetness and yeastiness of other so-called artisan breads.

Hello from Bethlehem, New Hampshire. My eating lifestyle is Macrobiotics. This bakery is a lifesaver for me. I purchase the Sesame Pan 22 ounce unyeasted sourdough bread. I steam it slightly and make sandwiches with it as well as eat it with soup. It is the very best tasting bread I have ever eaten. Management is so pleasant to work with.

Try the Cherry Pecan bread as French Toast!! I cut the slices fairly thick and then let them soak for 10-15 minutes on each side. This way the cherries really plump up with the liquid. The experience is exquisite when you bite into the slice of grilled French Toast and the cherries burst in your mouth. My guests swoon!!

I use the raisin bread to make a ham sandwich using horseradish cheddar spread!

I think the breads are wonderful. Although, they are definitely healthy and nutritious, they are some of the best I have ever tasted. If you love chocolate like I do, get the best of two worlds with Bread and Chocolate. Try it toasted with a touch of butter - GREAT!

I'm not sure what first inspired us, but we discovered that nutritional yeast sprinkled on hot buttered toast is quite delicious. When the San Francisco loaf first came out in 1987, we discovered a match made in heaven. It became an instant family classic and EVERY single child and adult who has ever tried it at our house has liked it. To this day when our girls come home they have San Francisco "yeast toast" for breakfast. It is also great with soup or anytime toast is served. For a little extra kick, you can rub the toast with a clove of garlic before you butter it. mmm mmm!!!

We love the mini-ciabattas...all five kinds! We have the chocolate toasted for breakfast and the herb & cheese with dinner. We fear we have become addicted, but happily so.

As a Brit, tea and cookies are a very important afternoon break. Living in Housatonic, you never know whose going to drop by. Berkshire Mountain Bakery has just exceeded my expectations with their recently added fine line of Wholesome Sprouted Grain Cookies. I have my favorites, but I love to break them up and serve an assortment of chunks. If no one drops by, I eat them all myself. I love them.

Last winter, I was treated for Lyme Disease with a heavy duty antibiotic. Afterwards, it took nearly two months before I could digest fats or eat a normal meal. During this time, one of my staples was Berkshire Mountain Bakery’s sourdough spelt bread with South River’s Sweet White miso spread upon it. It was a lifesaver!
