Northern Berkshire Keep Farming Initiative

Join us this Fall for this Community Forum on the Northern Berkshire Keep Farming Initiative.

We hope to see representatives from all north Berkshire communities there!  Please feel free to forward this e-mail to anyone you know in Adams, Cheshire, Clarksburg, Florida, New Ashford, North Adams, Savoy, or Williamstown who may be interested. 

Northern Berkshire community members have just begun working with Glynwood and the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission to initiate a process to understand challenges and opportunities facing our local farms and food system, and to then develop strategies to support and grow our local food system. 

This community-driven process. If you are interested inlearning more about Northern Berkshire Keep Farming email nbtransition@gmail.com or the other contacts at the botome of this page.
