Berkshire Mountain Bakery

Does anyone know where the Berkshire Mountain Bakery sells bread? Last year they sold at the Union Square farmers' market, but they weren't there when I went 2 weeks ago. Has anyone had confirmed sightings of them? I miss their chocolate bread!

    If you are going out to Tanglewood, it is not that much of a detour to pick up some food for the concert.

      I called and left a message, and they just called back: they aren't doing any farmer's markets in the Boston area anymore, and no stores in the area carry their bread.

      You can order from them; they ship out via UPS on Tuesdays with a minimum shipping/handling charge of $9.

      *sigh*

      Maybe next year.

        Oh, that sucks. I'm worried to order from them because I always found their bread, although delicious, to be highly perishable.

        If only their bakery wasn't in the middle of nowhere....

        Oh noes. I was planning to go to Union Sq. this weekend to get some potato-onion bread (my favorite bread in the world) and chocolate bread.

        I fell in love with them at the Amherst Farmers' Market.

        According to this website, they are at the Boston Public Market on Northern Ave. on Thursdays:

        I just called the bakery to ask where they sell, but no one answered.

          I'm a little nervous about trusting this list - it refers to vendors on Mondays and/or Thursdays, which looks like it means it's last year's list. The website in general does not seem to be fully up-to-date - it refers to Thursday & Monday hours on the page with the list of vendors, but Thursday & Saturday hours on another page, and it doesn't mention the Wednesday market in Dewey Square anywhere that I could find.
