Sell Your Products: Food Access
Our Food Access programs connect food pantries, community meal programs, and other food access sites with fresh, local food from Berkshire farmers. Berkshire Grown purchases in-season produce, bulk storage crops, CSA shares, eggs, meat, and dairy for our various programs.
For information on selling your products to our Food Access Programs, please contact Martha Suquet.
SHARE THE BOUNTY
Share the Bounty purchases CSA shares from area farms; the shares go to nearby food access sites or to subsidized on-farm shares for low-income CSA members Share the Bounty is a win-win scenario because it supports our community in two ways: Berkshire Grown purchases CSA shares from farms in the winter months, tiding them over with funds to help purchase seeds and supplies prior to market season. During the harvest season these farmers provide fresh, locally-grown food to community members experiencing food insecurity.
FARM TO FOOD ACCESS
Our Farm to Food Access program has evolved over the past few years, launching as a response to the food system disruptions caused by COVID-19. Currently, Farm to Food Access is funded by major USDA grant programs and run in partnership with Berkshire Bounty. Our two organizations cooperate to purchase large quantities of fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy, and eggs from local farmers and distribute that food to food pantries and community meal sites throughout Berkshire County.
Farmers deliver their products either directly to food access sites, or to Berkshire Grown’s cold storage facility in Great Barrington. We’re committed to paying farmers fair prices for their products.
