AandJ King Bakery
48 Central St, Salem, MA 01945
Tel: 978-744-4881
http://AJKingbakery.com
We are dedicated to sourcing as many regular ingredients from local sources whenever possible.
Our Mission
Making artisan bread is not about following a recipe. It is about honing technique and honoring
tradition. We have opened A&J King, Artisan Bakers in order to bring those traditions to your table
in the form of beautiful handcrafted breads and pastries. We are not doing anything new, just
something that has been forgotten by some in an increasingly “on-demand” world.
Artisan breads take time, effort, and most of all, patience. Our breads are to be enjoyed over a
couple days, not a whole week or more, so we hope to see your faces often. There are no
preservatives or unnatural ingredients used in our products.
It is our hope that more and more communities will have bakeries of their own as people are
reintroduced to the freshness of locally-made products. We are proud to join those bakers who have
helped revitalize the artisan bread movement in this country.
It is important to remember that what makes these breads and pastries great is not that we are
making them, but rather the traditions we are guided by, which have been around for centuries. We
are just followers of those traditions.
We want to be your local bakers.

info@verrillfarm.com
http://verrillfarm.com
Verrill Farm is operated as a partnership between Stephen and Joan Verrill and daughter Jennifer
Verrill Faddoul. Our farm consists of about 200 acres in Concord and Sudbury. One hundred acres
are prime farmland and 100 acres are wildlife habitats, woodlands, and wetlands. Steve's father and
mother moved to Concord in 1918 and started a successful dairy business.
In 1957, upon graduation from Cornell University, Steve assumed operation of the farm. In 1982,
after years of planning and negotiations, about 200 acres were placed under an Agricultural
Preservation Restriction, thus preventing development of this land. This long term commitment gave
sharper focus to our agricultural enterprises.
In 1990, the dairy herd was sold and plans began to replace the existing tent retail space with a new
farm stand, which was built in 1995. Our location at 11 Wheeler Rd. in Concord now includes retail
space for produce, specialty foods and gifts, and a large kitchen/bakery providing high quality baked
goods, entrees, homemade soups, and salads.
Both our produce stand and kitchen are fully functional and we are looking forward to a 2009 filled
with our popular Festivals, cooking classes and special holiday menus. Our site has three useful
pages for you to stay informed about what's happening at Verrill Farm. The Current Events page is
updated often and includes many useful details on events, what's new from the kitchen and local
crops in season. The Events & Festivals page is our calendar for 2009 and third is the Verrill Farm
Blog. Please note, we always recommend checking for schedule changes before coming to events.

serve foods grown or produced locally and raised organically. Many of our dishes are oriented
around seasonal New England fruits, vegetables and meats supplied by local farmers. Our potatoes

west in Shelburne. We enjoy freshly baked bread from Green Fields Market and often we serve
organic farmstead cheese from Warwick on our special ploughman board.
We have brewed over 70 styles of beer since opening in 1997. Our beers are brewed with 100%
grain, water, yeast, pellet & fresh leaf hops. We do not use corn sugar, rice or dry malt in any of our
beers. Most of our beers have over 50% organic grain - some have over 90%. We add honey,
orange peels, spices and other adjunct ingredients to some of our specialty beers, use ale (or top
fermenting) yeast, and tend to follow traditional British brewing styles. Brewery tours for groups are
available by appointment.

healthier for you and the planet. Supporting local agriculture has benefits that enhance the quality of

Verrill Farm is operated as a partnership between Stephen and Joan Verrill and daughter Jennifer
Verrill Faddoul. Our farm consists of about 200 acres in Concord and Sudbury. One hundred acres
are prime farmland and 100 acres are wildlife habitats, woodlands, and wetlands. Steve's father and
mother moved to Concord in 1918 and started a successful dairy business.
In 1957, upon graduation from Cornell University, Steve assumed operation of the farm. In 1982,
after years of planning and negotiations, about 200 acres were placed under an Agricultural
Preservation Restriction, thus preventing development of this land. This long term commitment gave
sharper focus to our agricultural enterprises.
In 1990, the dairy herd was sold and plans began to replace the existing tent retail space with a new
farm stand, which was built in 1995. Our location at 11 Wheeler Rd. in Concord now includes retail
space for produce, specialty foods and gifts, and a large kitchen/bakery providing high quality baked
goods, entrees, homemade soups, and salads.
Both our produce stand and kitchen are fully functional and we are looking forward to a 2009 filled

OUR MISSION: To provision, serve and connect people through a thriving cooperative business.
To achieve and support our mission, Wild Oats embraces the following Statement of Values:
We recognize that our members guide the cooperative
We recognize and respect the diversity of our members
We support local production
We support environmental sustainability
We promote social responsibility
We encourage other cooperative ventures
We foster a sense of community concerned with consumer empowerment, food choice, and
education
We continue to be a comfortable, friendly place to shop and work
We operate using sound business practices in order to provide quality products at a fair price
We abide by and foster the principles in the Statement of Cooperative Identity adopted by the
International Cooperative Alliance
Wild Oats Market is an independent, member-owned, cooperative-based whole foods market that
buys extensively from local and regional natural and organic food producers. One need not be a
member to shop at Wild Oats, although membership offers several benefits.
The market carries a wide selection of organic and naturally-made products, including meats,
eggs, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, breads, pastas, oils, cereals, juices and chocolate. Wild
Oats Market also carries healthful supplements and personal care products, as well as
environmentally-friendly household supplies and books, candles and gifts.
Although the first Wild Oats storefront opened in 1982, our beginnings as a neighborhood co-op
date back to 1975, when the Central Williamstown Food Cooperative (CWFC), a preorder food
buying co-op, was formed. Interest in the preorder co-op grew steadily, and in 1979, the group hired
a part-time coordinator to help manage the needs of its growing membership. At that time, the co-op
also moved its distribution site to a location that provided storage space for a small inventory.
In the summer of 1982, a storefront location became available at the Colonial Shopping Center in
Williamstown and on December 15, 1982, Wild Oats opened its doors to the public.
Wild Oats moved to its present location at 320 Main Street in 2005. Our new location, just
outside of downtown Williamstown on Route 2, not only gives us more room to offer members and
customers a greater variety of healthy, delicious food, but also more options on how to use our
space, since we own our building. For example, we were able to create a café in front of our store,
where customers can enjoy a cup of tea or a meal.
Since moving to our new location, we've added a bakery, a grab n' go deli and a hot foods bar.
Our hot foods bar is open daily for lunch and dinner. The menu, which changes daily, features
international dishes, favorites such as pizza and Greek spinach pie, and classics such as roast
chicken and lasagna. Our grab n' go deli stocks a variety of fresh, healthy options for vegans and
non-vegans who enjoy the convenience of prepared foods. In our grab n' go section you will find
sandwiches, salads, heat-and-serve items, hot and chilled soups, along with cold drinks and snacks.
Page 26
massachusetts guide: co-ops
The Wild Oats Bakery sells fresh-baked breads and pastries daily. Our breads include rustic
breads, French breads and baguettes, sourdough breads, challah and many other varieties. We
also offer freshly baked cookies, cupcakes and scones, Fair Trade coffee and a variety of teas.
Want to try an item, but concerned about the ingredients? We are happy to tell you the
ingredients used to make any of our prepared foods, and whenever possible we list the ingredients
on the item's packaging. Our vegan items are clearly marked. If you have a question, please don't
hesitate to ask!
Sample Our Fresh, Local Fruits and Vegetables
At Wild Oats, we are fortunate to be located near many local farmers and food producers. We have
relationships with many of the local producers; and as a result we are able to offer locally grown
produce on a regular basis, in addition to locally made cheeses, yogurt, milk and other dairy items.
We also stock locally produced eggs and locally produced, grass-fed beef and poultry.
Wild Oats is located on Route 2 in Williamstown, Massachusetts, not far from Williams College,

Urban agriculture has proven to be an effective way to promote community development because it
is a way for the residents of downtown Holyoke to maintain a connection to their culture while putting
down roots in their new home. Most of our members grew up on the farms of rural Puerto Rico and
many first came to the Northeast as migrant farm workers. Though they may live in the city now,
they are farmers at heart. They have lifetimes of experience in agriculture and it is part of their
heritage. Projects based on agriculture, such as markets and community gardens, build on the skills
and knowledge that participants already have, and are proud to have the opportunity to use to
improve their community and to teach to a younger generation.
History
Nuestras Raíces was founded in 1992 by the members of La Finquita community garden in South
Holyoke to manage the garden and with the goal of developing a greenhouse in downtown Holyoke.
Nuestras Raíces is building cultural pride as well as the ability of low-income Latinos in Holyoke to
address environmental, economic development, substance abuse, and food security issues.

preserves a bucolic, pastoral landscape, agricultural traditions, and historic farm buildings that are
rapidly disappearing in the eastern part of the state.
To connect people with the land, a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program was
established in 2002. CSA members buy shares and share in the rewards of farming, and receive a

class, in groups of up to 40 at one time, many times splitting a week between two groups from the
same school. Many schools bring students for multiple visits spread out over several years. While
here the students find value in real work, create community that persists when they return to their
classrooms, and experience first hand what it means to be a steward of the earth. It's simple but it's
magical.
Every school that has come has returned. As a result, our calendar is usually quite full. However, we
welcome inquires about possible visits and are always looking for ways to stretch to fit in more
programs! If you are interested, please do contact Program Director Reid Bryant to begin a

Verrill Farm is operated as a partnership between Stephen and Joan Verrill and daughter Jennifer
Verrill Faddoul. Our farm consists of about 200 acres in Concord and Sudbury. One hundred acres
are prime farmland and 100 acres are wildlife habitats, woodlands, and wetlands. Steve's father and
mother moved to Concord in 1918 and started a successful dairy business.
In 1957, upon graduation from Cornell University, Steve assumed operation of the farm. In 1982,
after years of planning and negotiations, about 200 acres were placed under an Agricultural
Preservation Restriction, thus preventing development of this land. This long term commitment gave
sharper focus to our agricultural enterprises.
In 1990, the dairy herd was sold and plans began to replace the existing tent retail space with a new
farm stand, which was built in 1995. Our location at 11 Wheeler Rd. in Concord now includes retail
space for produce, specialty foods and gifts, and a large kitchen/bakery providing high quality baked
goods, entrees, homemade soups, and salads.
Both our produce stand and kitchen are fully functional and we are looking forward to a 2009 filled
with our popular Festivals, cooking classes and special holiday menus. Our site has three useful
pages for you to stay informed about what's happening at Verrill Farm. The Current Events page is
updated often and includes many useful details on events, what's new from the kitchen and local

you're looking for some clean, pastured meat during that time, just give the farm a call and they
should be able to accommodate you.
The land on which Allen Farm's lambs, chickens, and cattle roam about and feast on clean,
chemical-free grasses has been in the family for over 250 years. Apparently, just as ownership of
the farm has stayed constant, so too have the farming practices. All of the animals are raised the
old-fashioned way, rotationally grazed on pasture and fed a steady diet of organic grasses.
The meats, which are all USDA inspected and certified, are sold frozen in a wide variety of custom
cuts. Allen Family Farm Natural Meats offers beef, lamb, and goats. Animals are grass-fed and not
feedlot raised, which decreases cholesterol in the meat. The animals are not fed routine drugs,
growth promoters, animal offal, genetically modified foodstuffs, or other additives. Animals are
processed in a USDA plant. Beef is available whole or half; lamb and goat are available whole;
packaged and delivered within 75 miles of Pierce City. Allen's uses a CSA model (Community
Supported Agriculture) where the consumer buys the animal when it is small and it then belongs to
the consumer. They raise your animal and have it processed and delivered to you. You choose the
cuts of meat and processing time. Please note that availability of meats is limited, so customers
should call ahead of time to inquire about inventory.
Aside from meat, the farm features all-organic chutneys, olive oil, blankets, sweaters, vests, throws,
and knitting yarn made from the farm's own wool.

generation of Austins, with the home front being the center for Austin Family gatherings. Backed by
tradition and family dedication, Bill, Roxanne, Michael and Kathy have transitioned from dairy
farming to raising beef and pork.

This blue cheese was developed over a period of 12 years in Somerset England by A. Duffield, then
proprietor of the Willett Dairy. Since 2000 it has been made in Great Barrington, Massachusetts,
under the supervision of, and a licensing agreement with, Dr. Duffield.
Berkshire Blue is an entirely handmade cheese crafted by one person working with 60-gallon
batches of whole raw Jersey milk from the Berkshires. Other than the truck that delivers the milk,
and the heating and refrigeration equipment, no mechanical devices are involved in the process.
Page 63
massachusetts guide: farmers
Vats are hand-stirred, curds are hand-cut and hand-ladled into small three-pound molds, which are
hand-turned, hand-needled, and hand-turned again (more than 24 times in all). The cheese is then
hand-wrapped and labeled. All this, along with periodic core sampling during the maturing period,
ensures that each small wheel is closely inspected many times during the nine weeks it takes to
become Berkshire Blue.
Berkshire Blue owes its smooth, moist texture and subtle flavors to this long process “ one requiring
more than 12 hours of attendance in the make room alone “ as well as to an extra battery of
introduced cultures: two types of starters, two blue molds and one white mold, and vegetable rennet.
Salt is introduced not in the vat, but by an overnight soak in brine, which requires a two-day stay in a
separate draining room with twice daily turnings. Twelve to 15 days in the maturing room is next,
where each wheel is turned every second day. The final stop is 45 days in a cold room, with weekly
turnings. The process here is identical to that in England, except for an additional 15-day aging
period to comply with U.S. regulations regarding products made with unpasteurized milk.

Cape Abilities Farm, which opened in 2006, is a branch of the Cape Abilities non-profit organization,
which works to provide housing, transportation, and jobs to the area's handicapped population.
Membership in Cape Abilities Farm helps to create jobs for 50 Cape Cod residents with disabilities
who work at the farm.
At Cape Abilities, the growing technique is hydroponic which means that all nutrients, such as
potassium, sulfite and Epsom salt, come from water via hoses to the plants. This allows for
complete control over nourishment. The hydroponic method is useful in environments that are too
harsh to allow conventional soil cultivation. It can produce a lot of uniform plants in one place and
allows the farmer increased control over the environment.
The farm boasts three green houses. The first greenhouse features hundreds of bumble bees
busily pollinating the tomato plants, which yield thousands of pounds of plump, green tomatoes.
The second greenhouse features ten types of verdant, plush lettuce, including Romaine, Boston,
Bib, Miners, Salad Ball and Arugula. The third greenhouse is home to cucumbers, red and green
peppers, eggplant, zucchini and basil.
The fresh, locally grown produce from the greenhouse at Cape Abilities is sold at their farm stand in
Dennis, at the Mid-Cape Farmer's market every Wednesday in Hyannis, and through their salad
club, which provides members with a weekly mix of salad vegetables.
The farm also supplies several local restaurants with its produce, among them 902 Main, The Naked
Oyster, Blue Moon Bistro, and the Brewster Fish House.
While Cape Abilities Farm is not a certified organic farm, it employs organic principles as often as
Page 66

possible. According to Tom Zurn, the Director of Business Development, the only time they would
consider using conventional farming methods would be if something serious were to occur, such as

Greetings from the Chicoine Family Farm! Established in 1933, my father Henry Chicoine operated
a dairy farm. Today, we offer delicious, healthy grass fed beef. I began building the herd in the
1970's on nothing but the grass growing in our own pastures.
We offer beef free of antibiotrics, hormones, and steroids, etc. The grass they eat has never been
treated with any pesticides or herbacides. They graze freely all spring summer and fall. In the winter,
they are fed the sun-dried hay that we produce all summer.
Our herd is a closed herd. That means that our animals are born on our farm. We don't purchase
any animals at auction or anywhere else. So we can assure our customers that our animals have
been raised from birth on nothing but grass.
Our beef can be purchased on the farm, by appointment, and we also offer delivery services. Please
feel free to contact us for more information.

CRANBERRY MOON FARM is situated on 20 acres in Western Massachusetts, up in the hills
where sheep used to roam between stonewalls and running streams. Today, a new flock of sheep
and their shepherds carve out a place worthy of past homesteader's efforts. In true Yankee form, the
pastures were reclaimed and brought back into use. Not a lot of topsoil, but plenty of slope. This
landscape is made for sheep. The weather is tough, yet the sheep endure with their fine wool coats

E & T grows its vegetables hydroponically in a greenhouse, which allows year round production.
The farm grows a variety of greens from a gourmet salad mix with edible flowers or with a mix of
micro greens. E & T offers an Asian mix of greens, as well as a large selection of basil. Other
greenhouse crops include tomatoes, cucumbers, garlic, onions, squash, beans, kohlrabi, peas, and
strawberries. An herb garden is in the works and blueberries will be offered in the near future.
E & T is not certified organic because, as proprietor Ed Osmun explains, "Bay State Certifiers do not
know how look at us. We cannot use pesticides in our greenhouse because of our fish and do not
treat our fish because they are tied to the plants. Our honey is not (organic) because a honey bee
will travel up to two miles for nectar or pollen. I can not say that they are only visiting organic plants."
Thus, while not officially certified, the farm employs sustainable methods.
E & T's products can be found at Dennisport Natural Market, Chatham Natural Market,
Coonamessett Farm, The Brewster Store, and Cape Cod Natural Foods.

At Flat Point Farm, proprietors Doug Brush and Jeffrey Munroe are raising healthy, free range
poultry. The chickens are raised in movable pens on fresh grass at the farm. The birds' feed is a
basic, un-medicated ration comprised primarily of corn, soy and oats. The chicken is not organic,
but to quote the farm's blog, “We try to be beyond organic bringing you the freshest possible product
from just down the road.”
Jeff and Doug raise their chickens in a floorless pen that the farmers move daily. This provides the
birds with the benefits of sunshine and fresh greens all the while aerating and fertilizing the fields.
The farm runs three 12' X 12' pens containing 75 birds a piece. Keeping with standards of humane
treatment, this provides 1.9 sq. feet of space per bird.

farm and receive fresh, organic produce throughout the season. The Food Bank Farm is one of the
largest and most efficient CSAs n the country and the first with the primary mission of helping to
feed those in need.
The Food Bank Farm provides half of its annual harvest to Food Bank member agencies and our
Brown Bag program - that's an average of 200,000 pounds of fresh organic produce each year
going to people who are hungry or food-insecure.
The Food Bank Farm is about building community. On your weekly pick-up you will see where your
food comes from and meet the folks who grow it. You will experience the harmony of the seasons.
The farm is a great place to bring kids, meet your neighbors, and celebrate a way of farming that
nurtures the land.
At the same time you enjoy your bounty, your membership helps the farm raise healthy organic
produce for the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts. Over the last five years, the farm has
produced more than 900,000 pounds of food for the Food Bank and its member agencies. Share

Our objective is to produce high-quality, all natural, grass-fed Black Angus beef. During the summer,
our animals range freely in our own pastures feeding on local grasses like timothy, red clover,
orchard, and canary grasses. Late in the Fall they move to our winter pasture where they receive
hay and grass silage cut from our meadows.
Our cows are bred to calve in April and May. During the summer the calves' main nourishment is
mother's milk but they begin to eat pasture grasses too.
In October the calves are weaned and sorted into four groups - the best heifers to join the main
herd, two or three top quality bull calves to serve as breeding bulls, other bull calves to become
steers for the beef program, and heifer calves for sale. At this time all our calves receive a standard
set of health vaccinations to protect them from various bovine viruses.
After weaning the calves begin their winter feed program of high protein second and first cutting hay,
and a small ration of wheat grain to support their fast growing, teen-age bodies.
The following May the steers (and the main herd of brood cows with their new calves) return to the
summer pastures. The steers remain on summer pastures until maturity in the fall when they weigh
1000 to 1200 lbs. At no time do the calves, steers, or any of our animals receive growth hormones
or antibiotics.

How On Earth is an organization which seeks to reestablish the diverse agricultural use of our
remaining farmlands and the vibrant economy that accompanies quality local food production. The
goal is to redevelop the local food supply, the local agricultural economy, and reconnect local people
to the land. Relying less on food sourced from around the globe, and more on locally grown food is
healthier for you and the planet. Supporting local agriculture has benefits that enhance the quality of
life both locally and globally.
We must now teach each other and our children how to share and nurture the wonderful natural
resources that our planet has to offer. In 1859, author Douglas Jerrold wrote,
“Earth is here so kind, that just tickle her with a hoe and she laughs with a harvest.”

Mapleline Farm Home Delivery Service was started by the fifth generation of Kokoskis in Hadley,
Massachusetts (USA).
Page 89
massachusetts guide: farmers
It began way back in 1904, when great-great grandfather Stanley Kokoski and his family, purchased
the farm, after finding an ad placed for its sale, in the local newspaper. The farm, at that time,
consisted of various vegetables and a small herd of cows. The milk was brought by horse and
wagon to the local train station in Cushman to be delivered to the dairy. Stanley Kokoski ran the
farm with his two sons, Henry Sr. and Thomas.
Henry Sr. eventually took over the reins of the farm, and then the farm began concentrating on
crops such as tobacco, onions, and potatoes. The cows were sold, but this proved to be a
temporary situation.
As the next generation of Kokoskis began to take over, cows returned to the farm. It was time for
Henry Jr. to run the farm. Over the next twenty-five years, the family ran the dairy and cultivated
vegetables. However, in time the farm once again switched back to vegetables only. The cows were
sold in the mid-70's but farming was not abandoned.
As history usually repeats itself, the Kokoski family was not done passing the family farm down, and
that meant cows were coming back with the next generation. John Kokoski took over the reins from
his dad, Henry Jr., in 1986. The dairy portion of the farm was growing at Mapleline along with field
crops. Hay and corn were prevalent on the picturesque acreage around the farm.
John's love for the farm and the Jersey cow was evident when he decided to take dairy farming to
the next level. He began bottling his own milk into glass bottles and selling it from a tiny store off the
front of the barn in 1995. The customers loved the idea of local farm fresh milk in glass bottles; it
became evident that John and his family needed more space.
In 2000, the present farm store was built, and in 2001 the next generation of Kokoskis returned to
the farm to find their own niche. John's son, Paul, decided to take a step back in time and begin
delivering glass bottled milk to the customer's doorstep.
As the farm spans five generations in the Pioneer Valley, history really does repeat itself, and it is
certain that the Kokoski family loves farming!

It is with a reverence for all living things that we aim to raise every plant and animal on the farm in
optimal health and vitality. To this end, we begin by nourishing the land with compost and animal
manures, mineral amendments, inoculants, green-manure crops and grazing animals. By enlivening
the earth in this manner, the food and forage harvested tend to yield an enlivening effect of their
own. It is this quality in our produce that you can taste and feel. In light of the belief that food is our
best medicine, it is our ultimate hope that by offering this "medicinal" food we are contributing to the
healing and enlivening of our culture.

well-being, as well as that of our customers. Our cattle are raised in pastures, rather than in feedlots.
Feeding animals in pastures, with trees for shade and protection from the elements, room to roam
so that the cattle can spread out, short grass for keeping the livestock cool in the summer, and fresh
water, virtually eliminates disease problems in the herd. We do not use artificial growth hormones,
growth stimulants, or artificial or antibiotic feed additives.
Our beef is available year-round at the farm (click here for visiting info) and through our home and
office delivery service, providing service via our own trucks to the Boston-area,
Northampton/Amherst area, and many other areas in Massachusetts (click here for ordering info).

Programs for visiting schools are the centerpiece of The Farm School. Each school year, 1,500
children join farmers and naturalists on our farm for 3-day programs. The students come with their
class, in groups of up to 40 at one time, many times splitting a week between two groups from the
same school. Many schools bring students for multiple visits spread out over several years. While
here the students find value in real work, create community that persists when they return to their
classrooms, and experience first hand what it means to be a steward of the earth. It's simple but it's
magical.

massachusetts guide: farmers
Verrill Faddoul. Our farm consists of about 200 acres in Concord and Sudbury. One hundred acres
are prime farmland and 100 acres are wildlife habitats, woodlands, and wetlands. Steve's father and
mother moved to Concord in 1918 and started a successful dairy business.
In 1957, upon graduation from Cornell University, Steve assumed operation of the farm. In 1982,
after years of planning and negotiations, about 200 acres were placed under an Agricultural
Preservation Restriction, thus preventing development of this land. This long term commitment gave
sharper focus to our agricultural enterprises.
In 1990, the dairy herd was sold and plans began to replace the existing tent retail space with a new
farm stand, which was built in 1995. Our location at 11 Wheeler Rd. in Concord now includes retail
space for produce, specialty foods and gifts, and a large kitchen/bakery providing high quality baked
goods, entrees, homemade soups, and salads.
Both our produce stand and kitchen are fully functional and we are looking forward to a 2009 filled

Wheel-View Farm in Shelburne is a family owned scenic hilltop farm in western Massachusetts
raising USDA certified natural grass-fed beef and breeding stock from our primarily Scottish
Highland and Belted Galloway herd.
The cattle graze contentedly on our summer pastures and are fed grass-legume hay from our fields
during the winter. These heritage breed cattle do an excellent job of maintaining open space on land
that is not suitable for grain or vegetable crops. We have chosen this type of farming because it is
more environmentally friendly, more humane for the animals, and also healthier for the consumer.
Unlike commercial feedlot cattle that are raised in confinement and fed a diet of grain, synthetic
vitamins, growth hormones, and antibiotics, our grass-fed animals live very different lives. They live
on pasture from birth to market. Because they live a more natural, less stressful life the animals are
very healthy and calm. We determine the growth rate of our animals not by artificial hormones and
grain but instead by genetics and quality of the forage, resulting in a nutritious healthier product.
Our beef can be shipped anywhere within New England or the surrounding states! Contact us for
details.

Bay End Farm, originally founded in 1906, has been providing fresh certified organic produce to
families, farmers markets, and restaurants around the Boston and Cape Cod communities for the
past 8 years. Bay End chooses to farm organically in order to provide its customers with vegetables
that are free of pesticides and herbicides and to work the land in a sustainable manner. The farm
believes that organic vegetables taste better and hold higher nutritional value than conventionally
raised vegetables.
Bay End's vegetable subscription program (also known as CSA) has grown in the past 8 years to
include families near the farm as well as in Cambridge, Somerville, and Plymouth. The program runs
for 20 weeks starting in mid June and continues through the end of October. Each week, customers
receive a bag of fresh picked, seasonal, certified organic vegetables and herbs and a bouquet of
(organically raised) flowers.
At Bay End, one can volunteer with all aspects of the farm: cultivation, seeding and planting, and
harvesting vegetables for our subscription program and farmers markets. Visitors may also stay
over at Bay End's Marie's Cottage or Overbrook House.

Cape Abilities Farm, which opened in 2006, is a branch of the Cape Abilities non-profit organization,
which works to provide housing, transportation, and jobs to the area's handicapped population.
Membership in Cape Abilities Farm helps to create jobs for 50 Cape Cod residents with disabilities
who work at the farm.
At Cape Abilities, the growing technique is hydroponic which means that all nutrients, such as
potassium, sulfite and Epsom salt, come from water via hoses to the plants. This allows for
complete control over nourishment. The hydroponic method is useful in environments that are too
harsh to allow conventional soil cultivation. It can produce a lot of uniform plants in one place and
allows the farmer increased control over the environment.
The farm boasts three green houses. The first greenhouse features hundreds of bumble bees
busily pollinating the tomato plants, which yield thousands of pounds of plump, green tomatoes.
The second greenhouse features ten types of verdant, plush lettuce, including Romaine, Boston,
Bib, Miners, Salad Ball and Arugula. The third greenhouse is home to cucumbers, red and green
peppers, eggplant, zucchini and basil.
The fresh, locally grown produce from the greenhouse at Cape Abilities is sold at their farm stand in
Dennis, at the Mid-Cape Farmer's market every Wednesday in Hyannis, and through their salad
club, which provides members with a weekly mix of salad vegetables.
The farm also supplies several local restaurants with its produce, among them 902 Main, The Naked
Oyster, Blue Moon Bistro, and the Brewster Fish House.
While Cape Abilities Farm is not a certified organic farm, it employs organic principles as often as
possible. According to Tom Zurn, the Director of Business Development, the only time they would
consider using conventional farming methods would be if something serious were to occur, such as
if the entire tomato crop were at threat, but luckily that has not happened yet.
Farm Stand opens for the season in May from Tues-Sun, 10AM-5PM.

At River Rock Farm, we raise our own beef cattle and sell USDA inspected, natural, aged beef to
retail customers and restaurants. We raise livestock in ways that promote their health and
well-being, as well as that of our customers. Our cattle are raised in pastures, rather than in feedlots.
Feeding animals in pastures, with trees for shade and protection from the elements, room to roam
so that the cattle can spread out, short grass for keeping the livestock cool in the summer, and fresh
water, virtually eliminates disease problems in the herd. We do not use artificial growth hormones,
growth stimulants, or artificial or antibiotic feed additives.
Our beef is available year-round at the farm (click here for visiting info) and through our home and
office delivery service, providing service via our own trucks to the Boston-area,
Northampton/Amherst area, and many other areas in Massachusetts (click here for ordering info).
During the spring, summer, and fall, you can find us at Massachusetts farmers' markets. See our
(schedule) for dates and times.

Urban agriculture has proven to be an effective way to promote community development because it
is a way for the residents of downtown Holyoke to maintain a connection to their culture while putting
down roots in their new home. Most of our members grew up on the farms of rural Puerto Rico and
many first came to the Northeast as migrant farm workers. Though they may live in the city now,
they are farmers at heart. They have lifetimes of experience in agriculture and it is part of their
heritage. Projects based on agriculture, such as markets and community gardens, build on the skills
and knowledge that participants already have, and are proud to have the opportunity to use to
improve their community and to teach to a younger generation.
History
Nuestras Raíces was founded in 1992 by the members of La Finquita community garden in South
Holyoke to manage the garden and with the goal of developing a greenhouse in downtown Holyoke.
Nuestras Raíces is building cultural pride as well as the ability of low-income Latinos in Holyoke to
address environmental, economic development, substance abuse, and food security issues.

L'Espalier is often credited with being the first independently owned restaurant to bring haute cuisine
to Boston, and doing so with a trailblazing commitment to using local, fresh ingredients from New
England. Located on Boylston Street when it opened in 1978, L'Espalier moved to a historic Back
Bay townhouse in 1982, only to return to Boylston Street in 2008 where it currently resides adjacent
to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
Under Chef, Proprietor, Author and now Farmer Frank McClelland's stewardship, L'Espalier has
consistently been rated at the top of national and local best restaurant lists (Zagat, Boston
Magazine, Frommer's Travel Guide, Wine Spectator, among them). The restaurant has received
numerous accolades including the "Distinguished Restaurant Award" from Mimi Sheraton, as well as
being the first New England restaurant to receive four stars from The Boston Globe food critic,
Alison Arnett. In 1996, Nation's Restaurant News bestowed L'Espalier with its highest honor,
inducting the restaurant into its “Fine Dining Hall of Fame.” L'Espalier is the only independent
restaurant in New England to receive eleven consecutive AAA Five Diamond Awards (the only
Boston restaurant with this distinction) and also has earned twelve consecutive Mobil (now Forbes)
Four-Star awards.
In response to these many accolades Chef McClelland would demure and shift the focus to the
longevity and loyalty of his employees, some of whom have been part of his team for more than
three decades.

Located at the Outer Reach Resort and overlooking the Cape Cod Bay, Adrian's has been serving
breakfast and dinner for over 20 years. Specialty omelettes, lobster benedict, and cranberry
pancakes are breakfast favorites, while regional Italian fare is served at dinner, featuring local
seafood, pastas, and gourmet pizzas, utilizing the freshest ingredients available.
Much of Adrian's produce is sustainable. The restaurant has a garden where it grows all of the
herbs it uses for cooking. While not certified organic, the garden does not use any pesticides or
chemical fertilizers--only its own compost. Adrian grows tomatoes, swiss chard, among other
veggies often used in his menus. Regarding meat and chicken, all of the beef that he uses comes
from Northeast Family Farms and is pasture raised without antibiotics or hormones.
Because the restaurant is seasonal, and the Cape Cod growing season is somewhat short, Adrian
cannot always purchase locally, but he does so whenever possible. All fish is purchased from local
fishermen (i.e., lobster, clams, oysters). "The fish that I use daily is usually line caught and small
day boat catch." In regard to other food sources that Adrian uses, due to the nature of serving
Italian food, he does bring imported Italian products into his kitchen; however, "all of these products
are made under very strict rules and regulations that far surpass many of the guidelines that we use
in this country."
Adrian's Restaurant has been recommended by the Boston Globe, Boston Phoenix, Cape Cod Life
Magazine, the Yankee Magazine Traveler, AAA Travel Guide, Fodor's, Zagats and has been
featured on Channel 5's "Chronicle."

its restaurant. The beef served at the restaurant are 100% grass-fed and locally raised, the chicken
is free-range and hormone/antibiotic free, and the sausage is sourced from a local purveyor.

The award-winning Beacon Hill Bistro has received national and international praise. The modern,
yet classic Bistro environment is the perfect complement to Executive Chef Matt Molloy's cuisine.
Chef Molloy crafts menus calling on contemporary French bistro cuisine, with a special emphasis on
local organic production. From the sourcing of the ingredients to the selection of wines to the three
types of bread we bake daily, Beacon Hill Bistro strives for excellence across all domains.
A true urban venue, Beacon Hill Bistro is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week, 365
days a year. While breakfast and lunch have an American/International flavor, at dinner the accent
is decidedly French.
The fireplace bar is the perfect beginning (or ending) to any evening. The Bistro serves late-night
dinners until 11:00 p.m. for the after-theater, symphony and film crowd.
And, of course, Saturday and Sunday brunch.
Bia Bistro

Contact: Chef Brian Houlihan

http://www.biabistro.com/
Chef Brian Houlihan's commitment to sustainable aquaculture and agriculture is not only exemplary,
it's award-winning. Chef Houlihan was recently recognized by the National Environmental Trust for
spearheading a campaign to stop the use of Chilean Sea Bass in area restaurants and for bringing
attention to the plight of this fish, which is now on the brink of extinction thanks to over-fishing.
Chef Houlihan makes certain to stock his seafood-themed menu only with what he can get locally
from small-scale fisherman that work the waters off the Massachusetts coast. Everything he brings
into his kitchen is right off the boat of fisherman that he knows personally, not right off the plane
from some exotic locale.
This dedication to locally-raised, environmentally sound products extends to meat and produce as
well. When meat is served it is usually poultry (chicken and duck) that is non-medicated and
cage-free. During the warmer months, just about all the produce comes from a small, sustainable
farm located about a mile and a half down the road.
Bia Bistro serves up what Chef Houlihan describes as, French bistro food with Italian influence. The
menu changes frequently to reflect the seasons and the availability of local produce.
Bia Bistro is open for dinner Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 10 p.m.; Saturday from 4 to 10 p.m.;
and Sunday from 5 to 9 p.m. Closed Mondays.

The environment is important. Everyone knows that. We try to do our part. Every day. In little ways.
It's not about being “green” (and certainly not about being Certified Green, which we are and which
we are proud of, but is not the point). It's simply about using our restaurants to make our planet a
better place. Today, it's corn cups and bamboo bowls. It's naturally-raised meats and organic tofu.
It's composting and recycling and reusing building materials. Even the yawn-able stuff like LED
lighting, low-flow waterheads, and Paperstone tabletops and countertops make a difference today.
Tomorrow, who knows - the list will only grow. One thing that we do know, we'll be there. Quietly
leading the pack and slowly blazing the trail. Doing our part to help the earth without making a big
deal of it. One baby step at a time. One burrito at a time.

Cafe Lucia has provided Lenox with upscale, fine Italian dining since 1983. In that time, the
restaurant has done much to support the community and the health of its patrons by purchasing
organic vegetables and greens from local, small farmers. Each year the kitchen welcomes a
sizeable bounty of fresh lettuce, tomatoes, beets, arugula, and more from the moment the products
sprout from the soil until the first freeze of the season.
The same philosophy touches upon Cafe Lucia's meat purchasing as well. Most of the restaurant's
meats come from a local butcher who supplies the kitchen with antibiotic and hormone free
selections. Although the restaurant's staff makes a concerted effort to stock the menu with as many
all-natural offerings as possible, they are not always able to offer such selections due to availability.
Customers should inquire to get an up-to-date run-down on the current menu.
Cafe Lucia is only open for dinner and reservations are recommended.

Tel: 617-524-9217
http://centrestcafe.com/
Over the years, Centre Street Cafe has established relationships with many of the area farmers,
They have provided us with great produce and a great education about local farming practices,
agricultural history, and even the area micro-climates. (The farmers in the Hilltowns of Western
Massachusetts like to joke that farms in the Boston suburbs are in the banana belt).
What does this mean for our customers? It means that during the growing season, you get the
freshest, tastiest vegetables possible (usually picked that very morning). It means getting gorgeous
organically grown vegetables from Ray Mong at Applefield Field in Stow. It means getting all-natural
pasture-raised beef from Jon Konove out in Brimfield. It means getting beautiful fruits and
vegetables and exquisite pork that has been humanely raised by Glenn and Genevieve Stillman out
in New Braintree. It means getting the best heirloom apples and peaches. It means that the cider
you get here is local and delicious (mainly from Box Hill Orchards).
We have spent years scouring the New England countryside in our free time searching out small,
local farmers that take pride and care in both what they do and how they do it. We have visited most
of the many farms we do business with (we still have to visit some cheese makers) learning about
the farmers and their growing practices, making sure they are ecologically responsible, and in the
case of the animals, that they are humane.
Why local? It is certainly fresher and tastier but we like the idea that is means less "truck miles" to
bring our food to the restaurant, and hence less pollution. We are big fans of the fast-disappearing
rural environment, and feel strongly that one way to protect that environment is to support our local
farmers. These are the little guys who are too small to cash in on the huge government subsidies
that are doled out to giant agri-business. These are the guys that get up at 3:30 am every morning,
day in and day out, to do the milking. These are the guys that never stop working as long as there is
light during the growing season, We applaud and admire them for all their hard work, and we urge
you too, to search them out and support then as much as possible.
Here is a partial list of the farmers we do business with:
* The Mongs, Applefield Farm, Stow, MA: Vegetables
* The Stillmans, Stillman Farm, New Braintree, MA (also the J.P. Farmers' Market behind Fleet
Bank): Fruit, vegetables, pork.
* Jon Konove, River Rock Farms, Brimfield, MA: Naturally-Raised Beef
* Chuck Lord and Tom Mansfield, Carver Hill Orchards, Stow, MA: Apples, cider, peaches and
blueberries
* Deb, Westfield Farms, Hubbardston, MA: Goat Cheeses
* Julie, Honeypot Orchards, Stow, MA: Apples, pears, cider, peaches, blueberries

A Modern French bistro with a Cuban twist.
Chef Paul O'Connell opened Chez Henri, the French restaurant with a Latin twist, in Cambridge in
1994. Chez Henri was named best new restaurant that year by both Esquire and Bon Appetite and
has gone on to win several Best of Boston awards including "Best Fusion," "Best French
Restaurant," "Best Cocktail: Mojito," and "Best First Date Restaurant."
Upon graduating from Johnson and Wales University, Paul worked with several of Boston's top
chefs, including Lydia Shire at the Parker House Hotel, Jasper White at the eponymous Restaurant
Jasper, Chris Schlesinger at the East Coast Grill and with Todd English as opening sous chef at
Olives in Charlestown. While working with these chefs Paul learned the importance of using locally
grown and raised foods and honed his skills in wood-fire grilling and pastries.
In 1993, Paul opened his first restaurant, Providence, in Brookline, which received critical acclaim
including three stars from the Boston Globe and recognition from both Esquire and Gourmet. Paul
closed Providence in 2000 and now focuses solely on Chez Henri.
Paul is also committed to many charities such as Greater Boston Food Bank, Taste of the NFL, The
Farm School and the Super Hunger Brunch. Paul is a member of Slow Food and The Chefs
Collaborative.

Coonamessett Farm is a twenty-acre farming and research enterprise located on Cape Cod in
Massachusetts, USA. The operation is organized in three Divisions: Agricultural Production,
Research, and Consulting.
At Coonamessett, food crops are grown locally and with low input practices. The Research Division
conducts multi-disciplinary field projects on land and at sea in a variety of areas, including growing
technologies and new approaches to pest management and weed control.
From 35 members in 1994, the farm now boasts over 2,000 family members who pay $20 annually
to be able to pick their own produce, visit with the animals, rent a kayak to paddle on Coonamessett
Pond and receive discounts on the numerous special events hosted at the farm (Yoga, “Jamaican
Grill Night,” Halloween Party).
Today when you visit the farm, a short driveway leads you to the general store where you can
purchase gourmet and natural foods and hand-crafted items some of which are made locally. If you
are hungry, you can purchase a salad or wrap sandwich or a hot entrée such as eggplant
Parmesan, vegetable lasagna, corn chowder or a veggie burger and enjoy it on the wide dining
room porch the overlooks the farm.

craigiestbistrot@aol.com
http://www.craigieonmain.com/
As detailed on the Craigie Street Bistrot website, Chef Tony Maws insists (to the point of fanaticism!)
on using only the freshest and highest quality ingredients. To Chef Maws, this means buying local
and in season. In fact, according to Maws, the menu is beyond seasonal as it changes daily
depending on what he can source from an array of small, northeastern, sustainable producers (the
total number of which, he can't even being to count), many of whom Maws knows personally.
Maws explains that this approach to sustainability is two-fold: he supports it philosophically and from
a quality standpoint. Sustainable agriculture is a noble initiative in and of itself, but it also helps that
those who observe its tenets most often produce delicious, high quality food.
Essentially, the menu at Craigie Street Bistrot is what it is not because of sustainability's increasing
trendiness, but because it just makes sense.
The listing of meats below is a just judicious sampling of the typical menu offerings--not all of these
meats will be available all at once at any one time. It should be noted that all of the meats at Craigie
Street Bistrot come from the general region, including western Massachusetts, upstate New York,
and Vermont.
Page 195

Craigie Street Bistrot offers a select nightly menu of five appetizers, five entrees, and five desserts,

Enzo's is a restaurant, guest house and Grotto bar in Provincetown, Cape Cod that serves native
seafoods, local produce and wonderful meats with innovation and style.
Enzo Owner John Yingling has played an important role in bringing local and organic food to the
Cape through his support of Nestwood farm, a Truro farm on which he and his family reside.This
land, worked by farmer Criss murphy is one of the largest on the outer cape and has supplied
organic local vegetables for Enzo, Blackfish, Juice, Terra Luna and various other local restaurants.
John has been interest in organic and local food for many years and this passion has led him to
support local food at Enzo, Bubbalas and Spiritus, the three restaurants he owns.
Last year, Enzo showed particular attention to local food and showcased a variety of local
ingredients through the work of Chef Jeremiah Reardon who is a french trained chef dedicated to
seasonal, Provencal menus. Some of the farms included in this effort were Cape Cod Organics,
Cedar Spring Farm, Checkerberry Farm and E and T farms. Along with local vegetables, Chef
Reardon utilized a variety of free-range organic meats through out the summer especially organic
poultry (Guini Hen) and of course the capes freshest seafood. This all was complimented by the use
of organic Massachusetts flour, various organic oils (truffle, olive, etc.) and an organic European
butter.
This upcoming year, Enzo will continue to work with local food and farms and John Yingling will
most likely pick his own eggplants or Swiss chard in the vegetables beds behind is house.

Grendel's has “gone green”, and by eating and drinking here, you can too! Here's a guide to
choosing things from our menu that reduce your carbon footprint:
Page 202
massachusetts guide: restaurants
• Buy Local: Try a local beer, and in-season produce. Spinach is green in more ways than one,
since it is one of the veggies that grows almost all year in colder climates.
Best choices: Spinach Pie - Popeye Salad - Sandwiches (Local Bread from Iggy's!) - Harpoon (beer
or rootbeer!) - Cambridge Amber (Ultra-local!) - Many other New England beers!
• Eat Less Meat: We keep your options delicious and satisfying with veggie choices. Add tofu to
boost your protein or try Super Grains like quinoa!
Best choices: Hummus - Nachos - Vegan Chili - Salads - Pasta Pesto (Green and Garlicky) -
Peruvian Quinoa - Salvadoran Veg & Tofu - Polenta with Porcini - Portobello Reuben or Wrap
• Choose Sustainable Seafood: Many fish are over harvested or their capture has negative impacts
on ocean ecosystem. We only offer ocean-friendly seafood at Grendel's using the Monterey Bay
Aquarium marine sustainability standards.
Best choices: Rainbow Trout is responsibly farmed - Haddock is locally caught without trawlers
• Eat and Drink Organic: We try hard to provide organics when possible while keeping our great
prices. Even a portion of your food organic makes an impact on your health and the planet's.
Best choices: Garden Burger (organic grains) - Our Quinoa is organic - Our coffee and teas are
organic - Peak Organic IPA - Rain Organic Vodka
• Packaging and Waste reduction: Grendel's makes all our food from fresh whole ingredients that
come minimally packaged, and we compost all our food waste and recycle our packaging, saving an
estimated 300 pounds per day (5500 tons a year!) of garbage going to landfills.
Best choices: All of it!
Small Changes Work - you don't have do it all, and Grendel's makes it easy for you.

“Our goal at Henrietta's is to deliver the freshest available food, through proper cooking techniques
and excellent service,” says Executive Chef Peter Davis. This attitude is reflected in Henrietta's
reliance on local farms and fisherman to keep her kitchen stocked.
Ask Chef Davis to describe his culinary philosophy, and he'll tell you "fresh and honest," or the long
version: "fresh from the farm and honest-to-goodness New England cooking." Davis is an avid
conservationist, with close ties to New England's fishing and farming communities. He is proud
Page 204
massachusetts guide: restaurants
about the use of products grown using sustainable agriculture methods and native ingredients when
creating dishes at Henrietta's Table, the restaurant he opened in The Charles Hotel in 1995. He
staunchly refuses to use ingredients that have been genetically modified or engineered, and he has
even gone as far as to create collectible trading cards featuring his local suppliers of fresh produce,
fish, and game to be given to diners at the end of their meal.
Chef Davis and his staff are committed to finding the best regional and organically grown produce,
not only to support the local farmers and community, but to bring award-winning dishes to their
guests.

How On Earth is an organization which seeks to reestablish the diverse agricultural use of our
remaining farmlands and the vibrant economy that accompanies quality local food production. The
goal is to redevelop the local food supply, the local agricultural economy, and reconnect local people
to the land. Relying less on food sourced from around the globe, and more on locally grown food is
healthier for you and the planet. Supporting local agriculture has benefits that enhance the quality of
life both locally and globally.
We must now teach each other and our children how to share and nurture the wonderful natural
resources that our planet has to offer. In 1859, author Douglas Jerrold wrote,
“Earth is here so kind, that just tickle her with a hoe and she laughs with a harvest.”

A charming inn with a collection of elegant and casual dining rooms, the restaurant at the Old
Yarmouth inn has established itself as one of the premiere dining experiences on Cape Cod. The
Old Yarmouth Inn places emphasis on offering the freshest and most seasonally appropriate items
and as a result the menu changes seasonally. Chef Woodbury prepares a number of exciting
dishes, such as Veal Saltimbocca, Baked Sea Scallops Galician Style, Roast Maple Leaf Farm Half
Duck, Warm Gorgonzola Steak Salad, Sirloin Steak Tips, New England Clam Chowder and more.
In the past few years, Old Yarmouth has become more and more focused on sustainable products.
For four years, it has not purchased any Canadian seafood as a way of supporting the local fishing
industry. The restaurant started a small herb garden this year, growing its own basil, thyme, cilantro
and sage. It also added a new item on the menu that features cheese from small dairy farms in New
England. As expressed by its proprietor, Old Yarmouth is "in constant dialogue with our largest
purveyors to encourage them to buy from free-range producers, and will be making the transition
especially to free-range milk, grass-fed veal and eggs from cage-free eggs."

you've tasted Ana Sortun's outrageously inventive food, including chickpea crêpe with smoked
cinnamon aioli, or lamb steak with Turkish spices & fava bean moussaka. Small producers comprise
the wine list at Oleana and are carefully chosen to complement the style of spice.
But a meal at Oleana isn't complete until you've tried one of pastry chef Maura Kilpatrick's desserts.
She is especially known for her homemade ice creams infused with an Eastern Mediterranean
sensibility, such as cocoa-rose ice cream with a date-rose truffle, or salted butter ice cream with a
pumpkin-brown butter crêpe.
Oleana's award-winning patio with a fountain, herb garden and fig tree is the perfect place to spend
a sultry summer evening. But winter nights in the dining room are pretty warm and welcoming too,
with Turkish carpets on the wall, a homey fireplace and banquette seating.
There's an open kitchen at Oleana, and it is tiny. But the flavors and creativity that emerge from it
are as big as they come.

tim@twfoodrestaurant.com
http://www.twfoodrestaurant.com
In the T.W. kitchen, we develop a style that is based on the purity of our ingredients. To us, this
means finding people who raise animals correctly and humanely, who forage our woods for
mushrooms and who grow herbs, flowers and vegetables for local consumption using old-fashioned
methods. As cooks, these raw materials are then manufactured into dishes using our knowledge,
artistic sensibilities and cultural traditions. We present a modern “cuisine classique” without the
limitations of preconceived flavor combination or construct.
An earlier part of this story is about France. The study of French cuisine gave me the technical
ability to transform my products into delicious food. In my early twenties, at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris,
I learned to make and taste a real cookie, a real croissant, a real baguette, a real pté. I had cooked
since I was a small child, often taking over my mother's kitchen (or at least trying to), but never had I
Page 219
massachusetts guide: restaurants
seen the correct methods executed by chefs who had studied food for centuries. In training through
many professional Parisian kitchens, I witnessed diligent order and execution, and the pursuit of a
highly nuanced food aesthetic.
Running in parallel to these concepts is a keen belief in freedom and individual expression. As a
cook this may mean taking a simple idea like fried soft shell crab and deciding to smoke it, in lieu of
serving it with its most common partner: bacon. Or doing a smoked foie gras crème brulée; or frying
our gnocchi with curry. In cooking, most things have been done before, but believing in them at that
moment, here today, at that dinner service, brings fresh life to the craft.

all-natural and locally-raised products. All of his meats (chickens, heirloom ducks, guinea hens,
partridge, beef, lamb, turkey and venison) come from northeastern, family farmers who raise their
animals on pasture, and feed them no antibiotics or hormones. He uses chevre from a nearby
producer and also uses local free-range eggs.
Praise for Whittlesey's cuisine has been steady: Kate Sekules touted Whittlesey as the hotel's
œnew star• in her list of America's 50 Best Hotel Restaurants for Food & Wine. Tara Mandy, of New
York magazine, called his food œsuperb•; and Andrew Harper's Hideaway Report described the
cuisine as nothing short of œbrilliant.• Whittlesey was born and raised in South America, and he
mastered his skills under six-time James Beard Award nominee Frank McClelland, and with a group
of Michelin-starred chefs across France, Michel Rostang among them.
The picture displays one of Whittlesey's signature venison dishes.

The Co-op was started in 1977 as a small buying club in Turners Falls, with 15 to 20 families and
assistance from the FCAC. A small retail store was opened on Avenue A in 1980.
Membership and sales increased steadily and the space was outgrown in a year. In 1981 the Co-op
expanded into an adjacent storefront. Growth continued until the mid-eighties when sales leveled
off. Rent continued to increase and the decision was made to move into downtown Greenfield. in
April 1987, the Co-op moved into the Chapman Street store where sales grew 70% in the first year
and continued to grow at a steady pace to reach a sales level of $500,000 in Fiscal Year 1993.
In the November 1993, the move into the new store on Main Street was accomplished. Sales
increased dramatically in the year following the move, and have continued to increase since then.

At Hardwick Beef, we provide the very best beef from animals that are raised on grass, without any
antibiotics or added hormones. There is an increasing demand for safe and healthy food, and a
demand for an ability to track a cow from birth onward. With mad cow disease an ever growing
concern, consumers want to know if their food is safe.
We are promoting a return to grass farming. As animals are moved from one fresh paddock to
another, grass is continually being grazed when the vitamins, minerals, and proteins are at their
best. Consequently, cattle get the best possible nutrition, manure is spread evenly across the land,
and the farmland actually improves with use.

How On Earth is an organization which seeks to reestablish the diverse agricultural use of our
remaining farmlands and the vibrant economy that accompanies quality local food production. The
goal is to redevelop the local food supply, the local agricultural economy, and reconnect local people
to the land. Relying less on food sourced from around the globe, and more on locally grown food is
healthier for you and the planet. Supporting local agriculture has benefits that enhance the quality of
life both locally and globally.
We must now teach each other and our children how to share and nurture the wonderful natural
resources that our planet has to offer. In 1859, author Douglas Jerrold wrote,
“Earth is here so kind, that just tickle her with a hoe and she laughs with a harvest.”

Barbara Lynch in the fall of 2006, Plum Produce is filled with both familiar and more unique varieties
of fruits and vegetables as well as a myriad of fresh herbs, house-made confitures, jellies and
pickled vegetables and even chocolate bars made by the No.9 Park pastry chef!
For the beautiful endive enjoyed at a favorite bistro or perfect heirloom tomatoes, a year round
source is here. Barbara decided to open Plum Produce after realizing how difficult it was, as a
consumer, to consistently find excellent and varied produce. Now home cooks have the same
access as chefs to beautiful, fresh and hard-to-find fruits, vegetables and herbs. From basics like
endive and fingerling potatoes to things like pluots and rose petals, the shop is filled with an
ever-changing seasonal selection from Barbara's favorite local farmers.

Tel: 978-369-4494
Contact: Stephen Verrill
info@verrillfarm.com
http://verrillfarm.com
Verrill Farm is operated as a partnership between Stephen and Joan Verrill and daughter Jennifer
Verrill Faddoul. Our farm consists of about 200 acres in Concord and Sudbury. One hundred acres
are prime farmland and 100 acres are wildlife habitats, woodlands, and wetlands. Steve's father and
mother moved to Concord in 1918 and started a successful dairy business.
In 1957, upon graduation from Cornell University, Steve assumed operation of the farm. In 1982,
after years of planning and negotiations, about 200 acres were placed under an Agricultural
Preservation Restriction, thus preventing development of this land. This long term commitment gave
sharper focus to our agricultural enterprises.
In 1990, the dairy herd was sold and plans began to replace the existing tent retail space with a new
farm stand, which was built in 1995. Our location at 11 Wheeler Rd. in Concord now includes retail
space for produce, specialty foods and gifts, and a large kitchen/bakery providing high quality baked
goods, entrees, homemade soups, and salads.
Both our produce stand and kitchen are fully functional and we are looking forward to a 2009 filled
with our popular Festivals, cooking classes and special holiday menus. Our site has three useful
pages for you to stay informed about what's happening at Verrill Farm. The Current Events page is
updated often and includes many useful details on events, what's new from the kitchen and local
crops in season. The Events & Festivals page is our calendar for 2009 and third is the Verrill Farm
Blog. Please note, we always recommend checking for schedule changes before coming to events.

Back in 1980, Whole Foods started out with one small store in Austin, Texas. Today, we're the
world's leader in natural and organic foods, with more than 270 stores in North America and the
United Kingdom.
Who are we? Well, we seek out the finest natural and organic foods available, maintain the strictest
quality standards in the industry, and have an unshakeable commitment to sustainable agriculture.
Around here, we often talk about our mission in terms of Whole Foods - Whole People - Whole
Planet. Basically, we think these elements all play a huge role in our success.
Whole Foods - We search for the highest quality, least processed, most flavorful and natural foods
possible because we believe that food in its purest state - unadulterated by artificial additives,
sweeteners, colorings and preservatives - is the best tasting and most nutritious food there is.
Whole People - Our people are our company. They are passionate about healthy food and a healthy
planet. They take full advantage of our decentralized, self-directed team culture and create a
Page 273
massachusetts guide: stores
respectful workplace where people are treated fairly and are highly motivated to succeed.
Whole Planet - We are committed to helping take care of the world around us, and our active
support of organic farming and sustainable agriculture helps protect our planet. And while we assist
our global neighbors through our Whole Planet Foundation's micro-lending operations, we also step
out the back door of each of our stores to support food banks, sponsor neighborhood events and
donate to local non-profit groups.

OUR MISSION: To provision, serve and connect people through a thriving cooperative business.
To achieve and support our mission, Wild Oats embraces the following Statement of Values:
We recognize that our members guide the cooperative
We recognize and respect the diversity of our members
We support local production
We support environmental sustainability
We promote social responsibility
We encourage other cooperative ventures
We foster a sense of community concerned with consumer empowerment, food choice, and
education
We continue to be a comfortable, friendly place to shop and work
We operate using sound business practices in order to provide quality products at a fair price
We abide by and foster the principles in the Statement of Cooperative Identity adopted by the
International Cooperative Alliance
Wild Oats Market is an independent, member-owned, cooperative-based whole foods market that
buys extensively from local and regional natural and organic food producers. One need not be a
member to shop at Wild Oats, although membership offers several benefits.
The market carries a wide selection of organic and naturally-made products, including meats,
eggs, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, breads, pastas, oils, cereals, juices and chocolate. Wild
Oats Market also carries healthful supplements and personal care products, as well as
environmentally-friendly household supplies and books, candles and gifts.
Although the first Wild Oats storefront opened in 1982, our beginnings as a neighborhood co-op
date back to 1975, when the Central Williamstown Food Cooperative (CWFC), a preorder food
buying co-op, was formed. Interest in the preorder co-op grew steadily, and in 1979, the group hired
a part-time coordinator to help manage the needs of its growing membership. At that time, the co-op
also moved its distribution site to a location that provided storage space for a small inventory.
In the summer of 1982, a storefront location became available at the Colonial Shopping Center in
Williamstown and on December 15, 1982, Wild Oats opened its doors to the public.
Wild Oats moved to its present location at 320 Main Street in 2005. Our new location, just
outside of downtown Williamstown on Route 2, not only gives us more room to offer members and
customers a greater variety of healthy, delicious food, but also more options on how to use our
space, since we own our building. For example, we were able to create a café in front of our store,
where customers can enjoy a cup of tea or a meal.
Since moving to our new location, we've added a bakery, a grab n' go deli and a hot foods bar.
Our hot foods bar is open daily for lunch and dinner. The menu, which changes daily, features
international dishes, favorites such as pizza and Greek spinach pie, and classics such as roast
chicken and lasagna. Our grab n' go deli stocks a variety of fresh, healthy options for vegans and
non-vegans who enjoy the convenience of prepared foods. In our grab n' go section you will find
sandwiches, salads, heat-and-serve items, hot and chilled soups, along with cold drinks and snacks.
Page 279
massachusetts guide: stores
The Wild Oats Bakery sells fresh-baked breads and pastries daily. Our breads include rustic
breads, French breads and baguettes, sourdough breads, challah and many other varieties. We
also offer freshly baked cookies, cupcakes and scones, Fair Trade coffee and a variety of teas.
Want to try an item, but concerned about the ingredients? We are happy to tell you the
ingredients used to make any of our prepared foods, and whenever possible we list the ingredients
on the item's packaging. Our vegan items are clearly marked. If you have a question, please don't
hesitate to ask!
Sample Our Fresh, Local Fruits and Vegetables
At Wild Oats, we are fortunate to be located near many local farmers and food producers. We have
relationships with many of the local producers; and as a result we are able to offer locally grown
produce on a regular basis, in addition to locally made cheeses, yogurt, milk and other dairy items.
We also stock locally produced eggs and locally produced, grass-fed beef and poultry.
Wild Oats is located on Route 2 in Williamstown, Massachusetts, not far from Williams College,
Mass MoCA and the Clark Art Institute. Click here for directions to our store.
