You’re holding the region’s best guide to farms, farmers markets, and restaurants offering local foods. Within these pages and online at berkshiregrown.org/ findfoodandfarms, you can find Pick-Your-Own (PYO) opportunities (blueberries, raspberries, apples, and pumpkins – to name just a few); nearby farmers markets; CSA farms; local producers of chocolate, bread, coffee, and beer; and retailers who support local food and farmers. I hope you will be inspired to become a member of Berkshire Grown. As a member, you will help us to extend the season by producing eight delicious Berkshire Grown Holiday and Winter Farmers Markets. Plus, your membership supports Share the Bounty – our win-win project that buys shares in local farms and distributes the food to pantries and kitchens to help feed some of our hungry neighbors. Use this Guide frequently! Each time you buy directly from a farmer you keep your dollars in the local community and eat the freshest, most delicious local food and farm products. Supporting local farmers enriches our whole community. Thank you! Barbara Zheutlin Executive Director, Berkshire Grown P.S. Become a member of Berkshire Grown today! Details on back cover.
