We want to send a big thank you to all of our loyal customers who shop online with us or in our market. Without your support we obviously would not be here.
A lot has changed in the food industry within the last five years. Just last week Whole Foods market was purchased by Amazon. There's no doubt Amazon will be delivering Whole Foods groceries to people's doors and only time will tell how that will affect us. Stay tuned for some newsletter articles exploring this topic.
This past Sunday the Berkshire Eagle featured us in a meal kit delivery service article which discussed how these national companies have affected small businesses such as ours.
As consumers we all get to vote for the food we want to support with our purchases. When you shop with Berkshire Organics you're not only supporting a small, local, independent market but you're supporting over 100 local farms and food businesses.We are extremely grateful to our local community for their support in truly shopping locally.

Notes: In the glass the wine is a beautiful cherry-red with purple hues. Fresh wild strawberries, garrigue and warm spices on the nose.

You won’t be disappointed to say the least!
Drink if you enjoy: A well rounded, medium bodied handcrafted Spanish wine made with great technique and integrity!
