NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The North Adams Farmers Market has opened for in-person shopping Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.: outdoors at the North Adams Armory, 206 Ashland Street, North Adams.

During the quarantine, the farmers market created an online marketplace where customers could order from participating farms. Community volunteers then packed and delivered upwards of 125 orders every Saturday. The market is now a hybrid market: online purchasing is still available but not required to shop in-person at the market.

Per state guidelines, safety measures have been put into place, including contact tracing, wearing masks, maintaining safe distance, no pets, and limiting the number of people in the market at any given time. 

All vendors at the North Adams Farmers Market accept EBT and the Market Match program doubles up to $30 of each EBT transaction. The Healthy Incentive Program (HIP) is also accepted by Square Roots Farm. Credit cards, debit cards and cash are all accepted.

Participating farms include Full Well Farm, Christian Chenail, Square Roots Farm, Red Shirt Farm, Senecal's Sugarhouse, Lion's Tooth Farm, Cookies and More, Berkshire Worms (pre-order only), Morin Gardens, AOK BBQ Bread (pre-order only), Willy Chenail. More vendors will participate as the season progresses.

North Adams Council Gives Initial OK to Zoning Change

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The City Council wrapped up business in about 30 minutes on Tuesday, moving several ordinance changes forward. 
 
A zoning change that would add a residential property to the commercial zone on State Road was adopted to a second reading but met with some pushback. The Planning Board recommended the change.
 
The vote was 5-2, with two other councilors abstaining, indicating there may be difficulty reaching a supermajority vote of six for final passage.
 
Centerville Sticks LLC (Tourists resort) had requested the extension of the Business 2 zone to cover 935 State Road. Centerville had purchased the large single-family home adjacent the resort in 2022. 
 
Ben Svenson, principal of Centerville, had told a joint meeting of the Planning Board and City Council earlier this month that it was a matter of space and safety. 
 
The resort had been growing and an office building across Route 2 was filled up. 
 
"We've had this wonderful opportunity to grow our development company. That's meant we have more office jobs and we filled that building up," he said. "This is really about safety. Getting people across Route 2 is somewhat perilous."
