Welcome to
Hungry Ghost Bread
Just steps from downtown and Smith College campus in Northampton, MA, our artisan bakery offers a rotating selection of breads and seasonally influenced pastries every day of the week.
Our small-batch sourdough bread is crafted by hand from regional and local grain, water and salt and baked in a wood-fired oven. The result is bread that is good for the gut and for the soul.

What is Sourdough?
All of our bread is 100% naturally leavened aka sourdough. Sourdough is a type of bread that is made through a 24 hour fermentation process. This traditional method of bread-making dates back thousands of years and creates bread with a rich flavor, chewy texture, and a crisp crust.
