BCC to Hold Farm-to-table Community Gathering Oct. 22
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Community College (BCC), together with Heart & Soil Collective, presents "Sharing Our Abundance: A Heart & Soil Collective Community Gathering" on Thursday, Oct. 22 from 6–8 pm in the BCC Cafeteria, located in the Susan B. Anthony building on the main campus at 1350 West Street.
The evening will feature farm-to-table mocktails and appetizers, a family-style farm-to-table dinner with ingredients purchased from Berkshire County farms and dishes prepared by local chefs, and a silent auction raising funds to host free farm-to-table cooking classes in partnership with BCC's Essential Needs Program. Essential needs assistance at BCC includes a wide variety of support services related to food, disability services, mental health, financial help, employment, housing, transportation, healthcare and more.
In 2026, Heart & Soil launched a series of grant-funded farm-to-table cooking classes with BCC's Essential Needs Program. Each class featured a local chef sharing practical skills and simple recipes using locally grown ingredients purchased from Berkshire County farms. Participants learned skills, enjoyed food stories and a delicious meal together. The series was a success, and proceeds from the farm-to-table dinner will go toward cooking classes in 2027.
Tickets are $60. To reserve a seat, visit www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/
"Sharing Our Abundance, A Heart & Soil Collective Community Gathering" is sponsored by Berkshire Money Management and Greylock Federal Credit Union.
