Berkshire Grown's Farmers Markets

What We Are Reading:
By: Joel Salatin, Polyface Farm
|
Recent news headlines about the environmental effects of meat production have only told part of the story.
Read this "
Letter to Ellen Degeneres
" to see another side to this complex story and talk to your local farmer about how local meat production is different from "industrial meat."

Fall is here and with the lower temperatures and shorter days comes the time to say goodbye to our outdoor, summer farmers markets.
Be sure to visit your market before it closes for the season and thank your farmer for the delicious Berkshire bounty.

See you around!
There is so much happening this holiday weekend. After visiting your local farmers market, orchard, and patch, check out the many fall festivals in the region.
