Last year from his kitchen, Bostonian Michael Anderson launched a small- batch bakery, Farmhouse Baking Co., specializing in macarons—and fans flocked to his confections, especially since Anderson and his team can match the color of macarons to any special event, including the holidays. Farmhouse also creates an array of other cookies too. Next up in 2021: a brick- and-mortar location in South Weymouth. farmhousebaking.co
