Berkshire Grown's 20th Annual Harvest Supper Says Goodbye...And Hello
With a new executive director at the helm, Berkshire Grown's annual taste of the Berkshires was as delicious as ever.
Berkshire Grown founder and now-former executive director passes the baton to Margaret Moulton, who began her new position just in time for the harvest supper.
We first covered Berkshire Grown’s Harvest Supper at its 10th annual food fest, and every year it’s a community-connecting event where chefs, farmers and foodies gather to celebrate and eat what the region produces. On Monday, Sept. 24, the not-for-profit champion of the farm-to-table movement held its 20th (sold out) harvest buffet at Ski Butternut in Great Barrington, Mass., where hundreds of guests tasted dishes made by local chefs with local ingredients. It was a culminating event for founder Barbara Zheutlin, who had just turned over the reins of the organization to Margaret Moulton. While they were busy greeting guests and accepting congratulations all around, the rest of us were sampling morsels like braised beef rib with sweet corn polenta from John Andrews Farmhouse Restaurant, corn fritters with magic sauce and dressed arugula from The Marketplace Kitchen Table, and fish tacos with kale slaw and avocado cream from Williams College. The rite of fall never disappoints.
