"This Concord bakery’s loaves are a common sight in stores throughout Massachusetts (and a little beyond); founded in 1998, the company does brisk wholesale business. But if you’re in West Concord, be sure to check out the bakery and cafe itself, which boasts comfortable vibes and scenic views. Nashoba Brook’s popular sourdough is made from the bakery’s own yeast captured from Concord grapes — try one of the embellished varieties, such as Harvest, which is full of pecans, cranberries, apricots, figs, and candied ginger." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
