Farms big and small contribute to the beauty and bounty of the Berkshires—a region with a rich farm-to-table heritage that’s also home to the first CSA in the country and bustling farmers’ markets.

Rafi with his October Mountain Farm produce at the Otis farmers’ market.
Supporting these local farmers, who grow the food we eat and are stewards of the land we see, is essential to promoting a thriving agricultural community and a healthy, sustainable planet.
Here you’ll find farms that are featured in the cookbook (below) as well as many others in the region—alas, there just weren’t enough pages to include them all.
There are also farmers’ markets, farm stands, and U-pick orchards where you can #buylocal and #knowyourfarmer.
