What a season 🍎

This year’s apple gleaning run has been an incredible one, and we’re so grateful to every volunteer who has spent time in the orchards helping harvest fresh fruit for our community.

Every bag picked, every hour given, and every extra set of hands has helped make this season such a success.

And we’re not quite done yet.

We have one more apple gleaning opportunity on Friday, October 16 for anyone who wants to get involved before the season comes to a close.

If you’ve been meaning to join us, this is your chance. Come spend a little time outside, pick with purpose, and help us finish the season strong 🍏

One more taste of summer ❤️

These raspberries were harvested at the end of the summer, and we couldn’t resist giving them a little moment on the feed.

Fresh local harvests like this are a big part of how Berkshire Bounty helps move nutritious food into the community – and while raspberry season may be behind us, the harvesting season isn’t over yet.

We still have volunteer needs through the fall, including farm harvesting and fruit tree gleaning opportunities across the Berkshires.

If you’re looking for a hands-on way to get involved, this is a great time to join us. Keep an eye on the link in bio for upcoming volunteer opportunities 🍎🌱

📣 Volunteers Needed: Farm Harvest!

Want to spend a morning outside and help get fresh, local food into the community? 🌱🥕

Berkshire Bounty is looking for volunteers to help with farm harvesting in Sheffield throughout the growing season.

Volunteers help harvest fresh produce that will be distributed to local food pantries and community partners across the Berkshires.

This is a hands-on opportunity, so volunteers should be comfortable kneeling, standing, and carrying up to 40 lbs.

If you’re looking for a tangible way to give back – and don’t mind getting your hands a little dirty – we’d love to have you join us.

Farm harvest opportunities run seasonally through October. Sign up through the link in bio or reach out to learn more 💙

Fruit tree gleaning season is here, and Berkshire Bounty is looking for volunteers to help harvest fresh fruit that might otherwise go unused – and help get it where it’s needed most.

Upcoming gleaning dates:
📅 10/7 in Mt. Washington
📅 10/10 in New Marlborough

No experience needed – just a willingness to lend a hand!

So… what exactly is tree gleaning? 🍎

Tree gleaning is the process of harvesting fruit that might otherwise go unpicked and helping make sure it reaches people who can use it.

With the help of local volunteers, Berkshire Bounty gathers surplus fruit from trees and orchards, then helps move it into the community through local food partners.

It’s a simple idea with a real impact: less good food going to waste, and more fresh food reaching neighbors throughout the Berkshires.

Fruit tree gleaning season has begun! Interested in joining us? See the dates below:

Helping good food go further 🥕💙

Every donation to Berkshire Bounty helps us rescue, purchase, transport, and deliver nutritious food throughout the Berkshires.

That means more fresh produce, more pantry staples, and more food reaching the local organizations and neighbors who need it most.

No gift is too small to make a difference – every dollar helps keep good food moving through our community.

If you’re able to give, visit the link in bio to support Berkshire Bounty today.

Swipe to fill the bag! 🍎

This weekend, we’re teaming up with Sandisfield Orchard to make apple picking do a little extra good.

On Sunday, October 4th, U-Pick customers will receive an additional bag to fill with apples for Berkshire Bounty. Those apples will help add more fresh, locally grown food to the network of community partners we work with throughout the Berkshires.

One bag to take home.
One bag to share with your neighbors.

It’s a simple way to turn a fall tradition into something that supports the wider community — and we’d love to see how much we can pick together.
