Classic techniques. Global flavors. Local focus.
Golden Grain is a small, independent bakery focused on handcrafted breads and baked goods made with high-quality ingredients. Every item is made from scratch using traditional methods, with attention to flavor, texture, and consistency.
Our menu features a range of sourdough breads, specialty loaves, and small-batch sweets inspired by European baking traditions. We aim to bring the best of what the world has to offer—particularly the time-honored breads of Europe—to our local community in small-town Massachusetts.
Orders are available weekly for pick-up, and we can also be found at local farmers markets throughout the season.

“Unequivocally the best bread I've ever had. The gruyere sourdough has depth and richness, the milk bread is what white bread should be. And the focaccia. Wow. The loaves are huge. I like to buy top quality breads and quarter and freeze them so I always have a great bread to serve with a soup or a stew, or to make special sandwiches, but I find myself building meals around the bread, instead. I am so happy to have seen a recommendation for Golden Grains and your only a short drive away. Better than the mail order breads I've tried by far.”

Our Story
Hey! I’m Bryan, and I taught myself everything I know about baking and cooking—no formal training, just YouTube tutorials, cookbooks, and relentless trial-and-error testing. What began as a way to feed a picky eater (me!) turned into a true fascination with food: exploring flavor combinations, mastering techniques, and understanding the science behind each loaf.
A few years ago, I decided I wanted more than just a hobby—I wanted a change. That’s when Golden Grain Artisanal Bread was born. I took my passion project out of my home kitchen and into a small micro-bakery in rural Massachusetts, driven by the simple joy of “playing” with dough and testing every new idea that popped into my head.
Running this business has been as rewarding as it has been challenging. Baking bread day in and day out is physically demanding, and there have been countless loaves that missed the mark. But every time a customer tells me our bread brightened their meal—or buys a loaf to share with friends and family—it makes all the hard work worthwhile. I started Golden Grain to satisfy my own creative drive, but I stay in it to bring something genuine, traditional, and delicious to our community. Thank you for being part of this still-evolving story :]
