These area bakeshops, butchers and cheesemongers will take your Turkey Day menu way beyond canned cranberry sauce and gloppy green bean casserole. Read on for our picks!

Tall Grass Bakery

Ballard’s Tall Grass Bakery doesn’t just make great-tasting bread for your Thanksgiving table. Tall Grass bakes beautiful bread, with perfect crackling crusts that are crispy on the outside and with pillowy insides. The 15-year-old bakery sells its Pain au Levain and Compagnon at farmers markets and grocery stores around town, including Whole Foods and Central Co-Op. But there’s nothing like taking the kids in the bakery to experience the smells and sights of a hard-working bakery.
