"I am extremely excited about our Open House," said Brandon Harms, President of BerkshireMade. "it is going to be a perfect opportunity for us to spread the word about how important it is to support the local economy by buying locally made goods."
BerkshireMade is a cooperative effort by a select group of Berkshire artisans to promote their high quality, locally made creative work. Our goal is to promote a shift in the shopping paradigm, so Berkshire consumers seek to purchase local goods created by local artisans, in the Berkshires or on the Internet. Buy Local, Buy Handmade.
