Exciting news! For the second year in a row, the Great Barrington Land Conservancy has been chosen to be a Berkshire Food Co-op Round Up for Change recipients. 

So, for the month of October, when you shop at the Berkshire Food Co-op, you can round up and support GBLC's programming and conservation activities. 

Review all the Round Up for Change recipients HERE.
