For the 2010 Season

 We have increased the capacity of our CSA Home Delivery to include more neighbors who want to enjoy


a healthier lifestyle while living in the Heart of the Berkshire Hills


What is a CSA?

 Community Supported Agricultural is a relationship a family or individual has with a farmer to purchase a share of their weekly seasonal produce harvest.


It is a pre-paid commitment to share the risks of production and to accept the results of the farmer’s best effort to deliver the subscriber’s harvest.


Pre-payment provides farmers funds when they need it most to prepare and buy seed, plant, cultivate, harvest and deliver subscribers shares.


A Certified Organic Farm CSA

The Certified Organic Red Fire Farm family provides the produce for the Berkshire Harmony Home Deliver System.

We are fortunate to have three highly respected farm families producing fruits and vegetables for the Pittsfield CSA Home Delivery Community.


We will learn how and why we came together around this Community Supported Agricultural project.


The process is an authentic system built around assembling the finest talent accessible.That begins with the farmer.  Among peer growers, our team represents


a high standard of Certified Organic Farmers


Each is known for their innovative growing techniques and they each possess reputations as leading CSA Farmers in the markets they serve.


We will all share the pleasure of the look, feel, flavor, taste, nutrition and diversity of their fruits and vegetables.


We have a fine team of CSA growers for Pittsfield families. We can be confident we will grow to appreciate and enjoy their delicious, nutrient rich fresh produce


in the months to come.

Berkshire Harmony obtains the produce at the farms, transports it to Pittsfield, where we breakout the produce and pack it for neighborhood deliveries.


We want to put a face on the “farm to fork” process throughout the chain of possession for handling your produce.


You will learn more about those involved in producing and delivering your produce when the system is in full service.


We deliver each subscriber’s weekly shares to households throughout the city, bright and early, Wednesday mornings between 4:00 am and 8:00 am


Rain or Shine
We also provide an easy and convenient Drive-Thru Pick-Up at our Morningside location Wednesdays between 11:00 am and 7:00 pm
