Your Guide to the Berkshires
Food scene
A local favorite! Check out their home brewed beer - they even have solar brewed beer! If that's not for you, no one can say no to their cheddar ale soup or chocolate stout cake. Everything here is homemade down to the salad dressings.

There are a few grocery stores in town, but for stocking up on staples, I would recommend Big Y. They have a great produce selection as well as prepared foods. If you need any pet supplies, this store is in a plaza with a petco.
