We’re continuing to highlight local traditions, and here at the very height of the harvest season, for Franklin County, that means the Harvest Supper which is celebrating it’s 20th year this weekend. We’ll chat with Stone Soup Cafe’s Kirsten Levitt, who helms the affair to chat about it’s origins with Juanita Nelson, the important place the event has in the community and the Cafe’s calendars, and the joys of bringing everyone together to celebrate the bounty of the county.
We’ll also head to Great Barrington where a tradition is currently being grown. The Queer Cinema Club seeks to bring known and hidden screen gems of the LGBTQIA2S+ community to the Triplex Cinema for showings to foster more connection in and around the the Berkshires, and we’ll chat with Ben Eliot, Champika Fernando, and Michelle Kaplan about what you can watch this week.
And in Feeding Hills young beef farmer has spent 35 years doing the very best for his herd, including adding a small breakfast and lunch spot for those on the go. Autumn Mist Farm has supplied beef to local outlets in the area, and we’ll chat with founder Derrick Turnbull about his tenure in the cattle industry, and the hardships this year has presented.
