 Greetings!

Signs of Spring...

Local farmers are getting ready for the new season. Many of them have finished planning the crops they are going to grow and are getting their seeds ready for the first plantings.

Local greenhouse growers are reporting they will have more to offer very soon. Lettuce, cucumbers and tomatoes from a local grower (see below) have flowered and are growing, but now we just need the sun.

This week we have microgreens, sprouts, arugula, baby spinach and mesclun from local greenhouses.

Fresh, local eggs are still in abundance and don't forget this is maple syrup season. We offer syrup from Holiday Farm in Dalton and from farmers in the Hudson Valley.

We thought you may like to see the most popular Berkshire Organics grocery items. Produce is always our best seller but below is a list of the top grocery items ordered online in February. The items in bold highlight local food producers.

Bayley Hazen Blue Cheese
from Jasper Hill Farm, VT

Aged 3-to-4 months             

Bayley Hazen Blue is a Jasper Hill Farm original, and is made from our high-quality whole raw cow's milk. It is named for an old military road commissioned by George Washington during the Revolutionary War. Though no major battle ever took place, the road brought Greensboro its first settlers and continues to be used today.                 

Sensory Notes:  Bayley has developed a loyal following because of its fudge-like texture, toasted-nut sweetness, and anise spice character. The paste is dense and creamy, with well-distributed blue veins. The usual peppery character of blue cheese is subdued, giving way to the grassy, nutty flavors in the milk.

Downeast Craft Cider
Cranberry Blend

from East Boston, MA
SALE Price $8.54
Regular Price $9.49 

Hard cider, 6% ABV 

Hard Cider with Cranberry, 5% ABV 

After every batch of cranberry blend is finished and ready for the conditioning tank, a cider-maker finds Tyler and hands him a small cup. Tyler takes a sip – contemplating the flavor, the body, the finish, the metaphysical implications of spinning around a dying star on this piece of rock we call planet earth – before making the declaration as old as time itself: “more cranberry.” and so it goes, a ceremonial dash of cranberry caps the batch and it’s whisked off to a cold, bubbly destiny. 

4-pack, 12oz cans

2015 Scagliola Moscato d’Asti Primo Bacio

from Piedmont, Italy

SALE Price $17.09

Regular Price $18.99

Grape Varietal: 100% Moscato 

Designation: Organic 

Notes: Pale-golden straw color. Nose is classic Moscato. The body, has a hint of frizzante, however, bubbles are not aggressive on the palate.  Like biting into a ripe pear, with a hint of green apple, accents of alpine flowers, sage and rosemary. The finish is like that from ripe pineapple. Simply delicious, pleasantly sweet without being sticky! 

Drink if you enjoy: Sweet desert wines, pleasant sparkling wines that are meant to bring pure joy and happiness to all!

10% OFF

2015 Illahe Vineyards Estate Pinot Noir

from Willamette Valley, Oregon

SALE Price $21.59

Regular Price $23.99

Grape Varietal: 100% Pinot Noir 

Designation: Organic, Sustainable, LIVE – certified and Salmon Safe. 

Notes: Aromas of blueberry, red fruits, licorice fern, with light char and vanilla clove. The perceivable fruit develops into a round mid-palate, smooth tannins, and notes of rose petal. This pinot is well balanced, clarified by racking (no fining or filtering), maintaining a layering mouth feel and acidity. The finish lingers with elegant persistence.  A domestic Pinot Noir that all others should be judged against! 

Drink if you enjoy: Elegant, New World Pinot Noir!

SALE Price $10.43

American Strong Pale Ale, 6.5% ABV, Bitterness: 65 IBUs

Oskar Blues launched its canning ops in 2002, brewing and hand-canning Dale's Pale Ale in the Lyons, ColoRADo, brewpub. America’s first-craft-canned mountain Pale is a hearty, critically acclaimed trailblazer that changed the way craft beer fiends perceive portable beer (6.5 percent ABV and 65 IBUs)
