Berkshire Grown Guide to Locally Grown Food, Flowers & Plants

Berkshire Grown is proud to announce the publication of our 2012 Buyer’s Guide to Locally Grown Food, Flowers and Plants! Berkshire Grown publishes the popular guide every year in late May. The Guide has up-to-date information about regional farmers’ markets and Berkshire Grown member farms. Listings are by town and include contact information, websites and hours.

Berkshire Grown members were mailed the Guide at the end of May. If you would like to become a Berkshire Grown member and support our work on behalf of local farms, click on the “Join Berkshire Grown” tab on our website, www.berkshiregrown.org. Membership is just $40/year for community members and $50/year for farmers, food producers and food buyers. We would love to have your support!

The Buyer’s Guide is distributed free throughout the Berkshires at more than three dozen locations, listed below, and was also included in some copies of the June 21st Shopper’s Guide. Pick up a copy of the Buyer’s Guide today and visit a farm or farmers’ market – and buy local!
