In May of 2011, Berkshire Farm & Table produced Where the Wild Things Are in partnership with the Sustainable Food and Agriculture Program at Williams College, The Porches Inn and Mezze Restaurant Group. The educational series presented eight wild edibles walks throughout the Berkshires, lead by experienced instructors focused on responsible harvesting techniques, recipes and the history of foraging. More than 150 people participated in the series throughout the month of May.

Media coverage included The New York Times Food Section, The Boston Globe, WAMC (Northeast Public Radio), The Berkshire Eagle, NPR Boston and Ruth Reichl’s Twitter feed, reaching more than 1.5 million viewers/listeners.

We produced the foraging series again in 2012 creating much demand for these walks as we continue to receive inquiries to host more of them. Funding for these walks was reduced and we opted to not host the series in 2013. We are working on developing the series and starting up again next year. If you’re interested in hosting a foraging walk, sponsoring an event or learning more about what we do, please contact us.
