Weekly Newsletter
December 5th, 2017
Serving Berkshire County Since 2008
 Greetings!
Produce basket orders are the core of the Berkshire Organics service and the key to our success and continuation as a business. They allow us to plan our orders in advance and also plan with the farmers the amount of crops they need to grow. Customers who select a frequency and receive a basket help provide stability for Berkshire Organics and the local farms we work with. We are thankful for the customers who have continued to receive a produce basket on a weekly basis but we also love to see more customers come back now that gardens, farmer's markets and CSA programs are mostly done for the season.  

If you're not interested in a produce basket, no problem!
You can shop a la carte for each item (example, 1 lb bananas, 2 each lemons, 1 loaf bread, 1 quart milk etc). If you're uncertain of how much is in a pound, click on the item's image for helpful information.
There are NO DELIVERY FEES!

Some helpful reminders:
  • There is never a commitment - you can suspend your order at any time.
  • We have a smaller and more affordable, Basics Basket, that customers use as their base and then add produce items a la carte to fit their household's needs.
  • You can make UNLIMITED substitutions, basically create your own basket.
  • This week's baskets help support more than 12 local farms.

We do this all the time, and would be delighted to do it for you. (Learn More near the bottom of this newsletter.)

Manchego
Manchego is a Spanish cheese made from the milk of sheep of the manchega breed.

The intense flavor and crumbly texture make it an ideal table cheese. It is fantastic served with olives, sun-dried tomatoes, crusty bread and a robust red wine or dry sherry.

Grape Varietal: 100% Garnacha
 
Designation: Biodynamic and Organic
 
Notes: In the glass the wine is a beautiful cherry-red with purple hues. Fresh wild strawberries, garrigue and warm spices on the nose. On the palate the wine is fruity, with a spicy and toasty, warming finish. Very balanced complexity and great mouth feel. This wine is very expressive. Medium weight, with mouth-watering acidity and soft, warm fruit. Soft tannins and well-balanced structure between acidity, tannin, fruit and alcohol make this extremely gulp-able. 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!
