Valley Bounty: Rise Above Bakery
“It was always my dream to own a bakery,” Brian Meunier says. A bakery with a café that evoked warmth and familiarity. Somewhere to enjoy handmade bread and pastries – somehow both simple and indulgent – made with ingredients from people you might know. That dream coalesced as Rise Above Bakery, which opened its doors at 282 Main Street in Greenfield in the spring of 2019.
Rise Above is best known for their scratch-made sourdough loaves and flakey croissants and breakfast pastries. Their repertoire also includes other breads like baguettes, ciabatta, bagels, and Khorasan loaves, as well as pretzels, tarts, and other desserts as holidays and seasonal local ingredients tempt their creativity. Everything is made in-house, most of it with flour milled locally by Ground Up Grain in Holyoke.
