Since 2015, Peaceful Provisions has been a family-run Beacon donut shop making small-batch vegan doughnuts entirely by hand, from brioche-style yeast dough to fillings, toppings and icings. Its dough undergoes traditional bread-making steps, including a 24–48-hour cold ferment, while the shop avoids pre-made mixes, artificial flavors and synthetic coloring. The women-of-color-led business also sources locally when possible, including jam from Beth’s Farm Kitchen in Old Chatham.
