Today we are speaking with Margaret Moulton, Executive Director at Berkshire Grown. Berkshire Grown, based in Great Barrington, MA, works toward an equitable and resilient local food system by supporting and promoting farmers, connecting people to local food, and building community partnerships around local food security.
Margaret and I explore the impact of Berkshire Grown on the community and how the organization, its members, and its partners demonstrated, especially during COVID, the need of relying on regional food sources and that you actually can rely on those regional food sources. Many foods can be sourced locally and being conscious of what is growing during the current season is very important in order to support local farmers and the local economy.
Margaret’s grant writing background has significantly contributed to her success in her Executive Director role at Berkshire Grown. She mines for Federal, state, regional, and local grant opportunities in order for Berkshire Grown to properly and effectively serve the needs of the local community. Projects like their mobile farmers markets which reach into underserved communities, is a growing model of how Berkshire Grown is meeting the needs of its farmers and the community surrounding these farmers.
Enjoy my conversation with Margaret Moulton and we hope you get inspired to shop your local farmers market or farmstand on a weekly basis.
