We're continuing our celebration this week by highlighting Beatrice Berle of Berle Farm!

is a certified organic dairy, beef and vegetable farm in Hoosick, NY. They are committed to the quality of their products and know that it starts, very literally, from the ground up. They view farming as a complete system including the soil, grasses, grains and animals. They know that the great taste of their cheeses, yogurt and many other products comes from prioritizing health throughout the whole system.

The farm was founded by Beatrice Berle in 1989 with the goal of providing good food to her neighbors and investing in the local economy. She continues to own and operate the farm to this day and continues to invest in the local economy and provide good food to her neighbors. The Berle Farm Store is the greatest commitment to her community yet. Beatrice loves farming and has worked hard to share this love with others. Berle Farm is a multi-generational business with a proud history and a bright future.

They have been saving seed and producing their own fertilizer since the very beginning. Their compost pile rocks 100 worms per gallon of soil. Their products are powered by solar electricity and solar hot water. Sustainability and land conservation are fundamental tenets of the business.

hard work, dedication and care Beatrice shows in her approach to farming and land stewardship. Visit the farm store today or find Berle products and many other locations! 👩‍🌾🐄🥬

We're continuing our celebration this week by highlighting Brittany Ebeling of Little Bean Farm and Pantry!

Little Bean was founded in 2022 by Brittany Ebeling and Ben Webb. They eat a whole foods, plant-based diet and wanted to grow what they eat while bringing plant protein to their community in the Berkshires.

The farm’s heirloom dry beans, garlic and other products are grown with intention and commitment to the health of the planet. Their practices reflect our environmental and social justice values. They grow without the use of animal products such as manure and bone meal. They use all organic practices and absolutely no chemical fertilizers or pesticides.

They farm in this way to embrace the principle of ecoefficiency and as a practice of nonviolence. Their soil amendments consist of resources from the surrounding grasslands and forest ecosystems. Each fall, they collect leaves from their neighborhood and create all their own compost to ensure it has only organic inputs and has not been transported using fossil fuels.

They source their inputs as locally as possible and want their beans to be eaten locally. They have a commitment to growing the culinary diversity of Berkshire County’s local food culture.

Join us in showing support and appreciation for the hard work, dedication and care Brittany shows in her approach to farming and land stewardship. Visit littlebeanfarmandpantry.com to sign up and be the first to hear about their Berkshire Bean Club Bundles! 👩‍🌾🎉
