Know your Local Hero

One of the great things about local agriculture is how personal it is. Every Local Hero farm, retailer, restaurant and specialty food producer in the Valley is owned and managed by your neighbors and friends. And every one of them is a story waiting to be told. Here's where you'll find those stories. We'll be adding more profiles in the months ahead—from the smallest businesses just starting out to Valley stalwarts that have been around for generations.

You can learn more about all our Local Hero members through our searchable online database. Or sign up for our monthly enewsletter, where we regularly profile Local Hero members.

Is there a Local Hero member you'd like to see featured? Contact Devon Whitney-Deal, Local Hero Member Services Coordinator, at 413-665-7100 with your suggestions.
