While Pittsfield is the urban center of the Berkshires, it still has its fair share of farms, farm stands, CSAs, and a popular downtown Farmers Market. Farm to table is a way of life in the Berkshires, and like the rest of the county, Pittsfield prides itself in support of local produce. So don’t be surprised when you see many of these farm names and other producers throughout the Berkshires proudly displayed on our restaurant’s menus.  Photo credit: Roots Rising
