PITTSFIELD â Lisa McDougall calls herself a âbig fanâ of the Wild Oats cooperative market in Williamstown.
But sheâs not your typical fan. As owner of Mighty Food Farm in Shaftsbury, Vt., McDougall has a vested interest in the symbiotic relationship between her farm, Wild Oats, and the customers who buy her certified organic fruits and vegetables, both at the co-op and the Williamstown Farmers Market.
âIf they succeed, I succeed, and if I succeed, they succeed,â McDougall said of Wild Oats. âItâs great.â
Fiddleheads, asparagus and ramps!
Itâs late May, and spring is happening for real in the 413. No more False Spring, Foolâs Spring, Mud Season or the Ides of Dirty Snow.
You can tell, because the produce departments at Berkshire Food Co-op and Wild Oats are ramping up for the parade of fresh vegetables that are poking out of the warm earth regionwide.
âIt s almost like my taste buds come out of hibernation,â says Devorah Sawyer, a sworn veggie lover and marketing manager at the co-op in Great Barrington.
The way she figures it, lots of people eat the same way in the dead of winter: tons of carbs, cheese and not a lot of color.
