Call out to vendors: Berkshire Grown Holiday Farmers' Markets
08:56AM / Friday, October 09, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN + GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. – Berkshire Grown will host the first annual Berkshire Grown Holiday Farmers’ Markets, scheduled for Williamstown and Great Barrington on November 21st, the Saturday before Thanksgiving weekend.
Holiday Farmers’ Markets organizers are seeking farmers and food producers who are interested in selling produce, cheese, eggs, meat, poultry, bread, pies and other baked goods, plus pickles and jams. There is a need for prepared food purveyors to provide beverages and foods that can be consumed on site. Electrical outlets will not be provided. The markets will be limited to locally grown food and food products with a focus on educating the consumer about local sources.
Holiday Farmers’ Markets will take place at the Williams College Field House on Latham Street in Williamstown (10 am – 2 pm) and the old firehouse on Castle Street in Great Barrington (9 am – 1pm.) The two events will create a community marketplace to extend the selling season of local farmers as well as invite community members to join in celebration of the wide array of farms and food producers available in the region.
Interested parties for the Williamstown market should contact Alyse Franco at bgnhfm@gmail.com. For the Great Barrington market, please contact Rosemary Levine at rosemarylevine@yahoo.com or call 413-528-8950.
In support of Berkshire Grown, this event is sponsored by The Williams College Sustainable Food and Agriculture Program at the Zilkha Center, Williams College Dining Services, Mezze Restaurant Group and Slow Food of Western Massachusetts.
