jmf2188 has a thing for granola and wants to know where the best breakfast mix is found in Boston. jmf, you’re in luck, because many local bakeries sell homemade granola.
Hounds recommend the pricey but delicious containers of cereal at Flour Bakery’s Fort Point and South End branches. Another option is the granola sold by Iggy’s at local farmers’ markets, once these are open for the season. But the best variety thus far uncovered on the boards will involve a bit of a drive for most Bostonians: Cottage Wellesley sells its own “decadent” granola, according to emilief, with “lots of pecans, cranberries etc. Hard not to eat the entire bag at once.”

Board Link: mountain rise granola…where?!
Give me a holler and I’ll send you a sample of my sprouted buckwheat granola. I usually make it with almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, mesquite, lucuma powder, pureed pears… you get the point. Gluten free and live vegan bliss.
I have found a granola that trumps them all. I came across it at the Hingham farmers market back in 2008. The Best Damn Granola made locally in Dartmouth, MA has the best granola I’ve ever come across. You can find it in some stores in Southeast MA and also some food websites, but they do sell it from their own website: http://www.thebestdamngranola.com
Nearly 100% organic and using a lot of local ingredients, it really is the best damn granola!
