Success Stories
Roxie’s Barkery
Roxie’s Barkery is a woman-owned, family-operated pet boutique and Barkery focused on bringing high-quality, thoughtfully sourced products to pets and their people. They specialize in all-natural dog treats and baked goods, handmade right in our on-site commercial kitchen, enrichment products, dog food, wellness products & more.
Owner McKenna Burzimati started her business in 2020 out of her love of her dog, Roxie, as well as her desire to give her healthier, better-quality treats.
Hexagon Bagels
At the heart of Hexagon's offering is a commitment to slow, intentional craft. The bagels are naturally leavened and hand-rolled with a focus on choosing ingredients with exceptional care. The menu also leans into regional produce, incorporating seasonal and local ingredients from nearby farms whenever possible. Hexagon has made Boston.com's list of the best bagels in Massachusetts — notably the only Berkshire establishment to appear on that list!
