📢🎉2026 is the International Year of the Woman Farmer! We’re spotlighting a few of our awe-inspiring Berkshire area farmers and growers.
We're continuing our celebration this week by highlighting several farmers of BRIDGE Solidarity Farm and Garden!
413 is a community space that brings people together through food, culture, and connection. It is located at the Great Barrington Fairgrounds and the BRIDGE Solidarity Meeting House and they are now partnering with Greenagers for an acre of new plots at April Hill.
The garden grows crops that are important to different cultures, using sustainable methods. It helps support food sovereignty and makes fresh, healthy food more available. Their garden is a chance for BIPOC farmers to learn by hands-on experience to develop leadership skills and build community through mutual aid with their own plots. It is more than just a garden, it is a place where people work together to create a sense of belonging, resilience, and solidarity.
Join us in showing support and appreciation for the hard work, dedication and care all the farmers show in promoting BRIDGE’s approach to farming and food sovereignty.
