Hungry Ghost Bread
Hungry Ghost Bread’s grand opening was on April 10th – 2004. A few friends and family were expected. By mid-morning the shelves were empty and more could not be baked fast enough to keep pace with the demand. Some days, (particularly Saturdays and holidays), are still like that – no matter how early the baker and the fire maker rise.

YUP Coffee Roasters
YUP Coffee Roasters is a family-run roastery and café on the riverbanks of Florence, Massachusetts, a village just outside the city limits of Northampton, MA. We roast craft coffee in small batches and serve it up onsite to friends and neighbors, along with teas, pastries, bagels, soup, and lovely river views.

Homemade whenever possible and practical, our philosophy is that the best tasting food is the food made from scratch, without the use of preservatives or additives, using the freshest ingredients we can buy. Our pancake batters are made fresh daily using locally sourced milk from Mapleline Farm in Hadley and fresh organic eggs from the Country Hen in Hubbardston. Salad dressings are all made daily in our kitchen, without preservatives. Our corned beef hash is boiled and prepared fresh every morning. We make every effort to provide you the finest, freshest ingredients, because we know you can taste the difference.

Nourish Wellness Cafe and Juice Bar
Nourish began as a tiny kiosk in Thornes Marketplace. There, the couple worked side-by-side, open to close, 7 days a week serving fresh juices and smoothies. They continued to dream bigger, and their business evolved into the airy, light-filled cafe on the corner of Market and Bridge Streets – the newest vegetarian restaurant in Northampton MA. Locals and visitors alike head to Nourish in search of hearty “wellness bowls,” (consisting of a bed of grains or greens piled with toppings as tasty as they are beneficial), healing teas, Fair Trade Certified™ coffee, gluten- and grain-free treats, ingenious fresh juice blends and smoothies loaded with supplements and superfoods. It’s all organic, and much of it is locally-sourced.
