This September, Berkshire Grown and our regional partners will launch the Berkshire Mobile Farmers Market (BMFM) with stops in low income, rural, and underserved communities – Becket Town Hall, MCLA in North Adams, and 18 Degrees in Pittsfield – and up to 5 additional stops in Spring, 2024.
In honor of National Farmers Market week, we are asking YOU to help eliminate the physical, economic, and social barriers that prevent some in our Berkshire community from accessing fresh, locally grown food by supporting the Berkshire Mobile Farmers Market.
With your support the BMFM will bring fresh, local produce and protein to low-income and rural families across the County. While prices at traditional farmers markets may put fresh fruits and vegetables out of reach for many, the BMFM will have an all-inclusive tiered payment structure, where shoppers can choose a payment level that fits their budget, including a food pantry option. Mobile Market Staff will educate customers about the market products and create a stigma-free, welcoming shopping experience.
The mobile market will also create a new avenue for sales and advertising for local farmers and food producers, getting their products onto the plates of those who might otherwise not be able to enjoy them.
Use the button below to bring the benefits of fresh, local food to all in our community.
