Due to concerns over the coronavirus, Berkshire Grown has cancelled the market scheduled for Saturday, March 21.
The cancellation of the March Winter Farmers Market will have the greatest negative impact on vendors of perishable products.
How can you help?
- If you’re running errands and buying groceries and goods, prioritize supporting local farms and businesses more than ever. They need your support.
- Please buy directly from farmers whenever possible and shop at local retailers who support farmers - ex. Guido’s, Berkshire Food Co-op, Wild Oats Market, and Random Harvest.
- You can find general information about local farms and food on our website and in Berkshire Grown’s online guide, including year-round farm stands, and more.
- Tip service workers generously.
- Cash flow is an issue for local businesses when sales are interrupted. If you’re thinking of signing up for a summer farm share, now is the time.
- Consider buying gift cards at restaurants, farm stands, and other local businesses to provide them with needed income now, and use them when things have normalized.
- Community agencies that serve hungry people need support now too. If you are able, donate and volunteer your time.
- If you have backyard chickens and want to donate eggs, CHP (442 Stockbridge Road Great Barrington, MA , 413-528-0457, Mon-Fri 9am–4pm and People's Pantry (352 Main Street, Great Barrington, MA 01230) are both accepting donations.
We are sorry to miss the chance to see everyone and will make a decision regarding the April market at a later date. Thank you!
