CALL TO RETURN

It's time to return those bag share bags!

Last week our lovely folks over at The BagShare came by with a WHOLE LOAD! It was FULL. And just a week later only a few remain.

It's time we all brought them back in!

The Bagshare Project is a zero-waste initiative now based at the Old Stone Mill Center in Adams. You can read all about the Old Stone Mill on our website.

https://oldcreamery.coop/local-highlight-the-old-stone-mill-center-for-arts-and-creative-engineering/

The Center turns scrap materials, upcycled fabric, and repurposed feed or malt bags into free, reusable shopping bags. They look incredible and fashionable, but it's not all about the aesthetics, people. These are much more durable and can carry more at the same time. Basically offering folks the cheat codes for bringing in all the groceries in one go.

The organization was founded in 2007 by beloved local artist and printmaker Leni Fried. The project was created to provide a sustainable alternative to disposable paper and plastic shopping bags by organizing community sewing circles. These sewing circles, or "Sewcial" events help to manufacture reusable totes out of discarded scrap materials. And frankly, it's a great way to spend an afternoon.

But let's toot our own horn a little bit, we were the first adaptors, and Cummington was the best spot to get bags made for a long time. When this project started they were able to calculate the Creamery had supplied 49,000 paper bags each year. By becoming bag free we saved $5,000 annually in bag costs and 70 fifteen-year-old trees.

So! Please, return the ones you don't use. Keep the ones you do! And maybe keep an eye out for the next Sewcial event.

🍂 Newsletter Time!

For September we did a highlight on Hilltown Vision!

Hilltown Vision is a local non-profit organization that helps support folks around the Hilltowns. They help plan some of the events that have happened in the center of Cummington, like this past weekend's RiverFest 26.

The organization seeks to build and maintain a view of the future for our area that preserves so much of what we love and cherish. It's a platform for the community to step up and say "we don't want this" to pipelines and corporate chain stores in Cummington, as well as a platform for folks to step up and say "we do want this" to thing like heritage orchards and the local co-op (that's us! ☺️).

Hilltown Vision is a reflection of the people who want to see a better world.

They have helped throw The Old Creamery’s 10th Anniversary party, pulling in local food and vendors like Sena Farm Brewery, they were able to offer the Cummington Cultural District administrative services. The Cummington Tree Alliance and the Cross Pollination Initiative both count themselves as projects of Hilltown Vision. Recently Hilltown Theatre Anonymous partnered with Hilltown Vision to address ticketing and fiscal support.

Sound neat? Learn more! Have an idea or organization that might benefit from some administrative adjustment? Check in with them! If it fits the vision, maybe there is a helping hand in the hills that makes the future a little easier to see.

Read More:
"Living in the rural hills of Western MA is undeniably beautiful, and even with the seasonal challenges of winter snows, many wouldn’t trade the area’s regional character for simple convenience. The challenges that folks face out here rarely surface from a lack of gumption. People out here take pride in their work, and aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. Keeping an eye on the future is how Hilltown Vision got its start, and the horizon looks bright from their perspective. When a group of local folks want to build a heritage orchard, organize an art festival, or support their food co-op then the Hilltown Vision can help see that project realized.."

Sales and Circulars!!! 😎

A new set every two weeks! Sales for all to enjoy.

This set is a dinner classic, pasta and salad! Al Dente Pasta is done in minutes, and brings the flavor. Top it with Ooma Tesoro's Maranara Sauce! Delish and LOCAL!!! Sprinkle some Cabot shred and it's basically done, or top your salad with a chees of your choice. But make sure to use Little Leaf Lettuce for your base.

And our second half is packed with breakfast staples. From Greek Yogurt to Coffee (In a size that counts!), grab a glass of Natalie's and see how nice the day can be. And if it's a day worth starting it's worth starting with a crunch! That's where Back Roads Granola comes in. Heck, grab a little one and munch on your way to work or play. Good all day, any day.

Them's the news. Grab the sales while they last. We'll do it again in a few weeks.

In August we went down to chat with the fine folks at Exhibit 'A' Brewing Company. They've recently opened their doors down in the old Williams House, the building hasn't looked better.

Wanna see/learn more? Check out this excerpt from our Newsletter Highlight:

"There’s a new player in the picturesque town of Williamsburg. Nestled at the bottom of the Berkshire foothills where a confluence of streams and brooks form the Mill River, an established Massachusetts craft brewery has recently taken over the space formerly held by operations such as Burgy Brews, The Christmas Inn, and the Williams House. Originally located in Framingham, Exhibit A Brewing has transferred their production operations and on-site taproom to this newly rehabbed space - and brought their keen sense of hospitality along with them..."

But you can just buy a Lemon Cupcake with Blueberry Buttercream, and that's probably just way better than words.

See you soon!
