Donors matching gifts for Berkshire Grown Berkshire Mobile Farmers Market Berkshire— In honor of “National Farmers Market Week,” two generous donors, who care deeply about local farms and access to fresh, local food for all Berkshire residents, are matching every gift to the Berkshire Mobile Farmers Market up to $7,500. The Berkshire Mobile Farmers Market, a collaboration of six local nonprofit organizations, brings fresh, locally grown and produced food to six communities with limited access to fresh food, Adams, Becket, Monterey, North Adams, and two Pittsfield sites. Over the last six weeks, more than 800 shoppers have come out to benefit from this wonderful local resource.
Berkshire Grown’s Director of Development, Stephanie Bergman believes, “Everyone in our community deserves to enjoy the bounty of the Berkshires. Fresh, local food shouldn’t be a luxury. It should be accessible and available to every Berkshire resident.
This fundraising campaign will help to make that possible.” The Berkshire Mobile Farmers Market is more than just a marketplace; it’s a lifeline for many in the community to access fresh, locally grown products.
