 NOW OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK!We've added a new member to our kitchen team Meet Zach - His Inspiring Story:  | |
Zach & Eric: Team "EZ" - Making it Easy to Eat Healthy
|
Zach Durso was born and raised in Pittsfield, MA. Zach has traveled across the country and has had many adventures. After traveling, he discovered that he needed to return to his roots, to the town and the people that he loves in the Berkshires. Zach's early cooking background actually began in the fast food industry. He learned about the fast food industry by working at McDonald's, Old Country Buffet and Taco Bell. He eventually became sick of serving fast food slop and went to further his education in culinary arts at Berkshire Community College. There he learned how to make better quality food, albeit nowhere near nutritious, local or organic. Zach's health then took a turn for the worse, being overweight, he was then diagnosed with sleep apnea. Zach spent two years on disability, searching for answers but was only given a pain prescription and a CPAP, or "breathing machine" for sleep apnea. One day, Zach made an appointment with a local Pittsfield nutritionist, Lori Reamer. Lori recommended he watch a documentary called, "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead". After seeing this film, Zach was inspired to make a life-style change. He began juicing fresh vegetables and fruits everyday and eating nothing else (this is not recommended unless consulting a physician). Twenty-three days and forty pounds lighter, Zach was able to walk up to seven miles a day, and he became less dependent on sleeping with his breathing machine.  Continuing on in his new healthy life-style Zach has now lost a total of 100 pounds! He has a real passion for healthy, fresh food, cleanliness and customer service. Zach hopes to start a juicing club at Berkshire Organics in the coming months. Berkshire Organics is excited to have Zach on our team because he has lived and experienced the fast food life-style and knows what they serve is not actually real, wholesome "food". We hope Zach will continue on his journey to health while inspiring others to make a similar change along the way. Please stop in and say hello to Zach in the kitchen!
Watch the documentary that inspired Zach for FREE!
This documentary is only 1.5 hours and is truly inspiring! It is a must see film that has changed the way I look at juicing. The power fruits & vegetables can have on improving our health is undeniable - Aleisha Gibbons

Pure Glass Water Bottles
Arriving to the Berkshire Organics Market by Wednesday!
...Glass is making a bit of a comeback. And it is being helped in a small way by an entrepreneur who is developing a reusable glass bottle that is hard to break and will not shatter if broken.
Consumer concerns that chemicals used in packaging can leach into the products they eat and drink are driving more and more beverage makers and food producers to use glass containers, said Lynn Bragg, president of the Glass Packaging Institute, an industry association. "They're also looking for sustainable products to be ecologically responsible."

Product Review
Two Mom's In the Raw Granola Bars
by Maya Greene
 Two Moms in the Raw are on a mission to make gluten free, organic, and raw food that tastes amazing. As a mother of three diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, founder Shari has discovered that eating clean, raw food keeps her feeling good. Now, I don't personally follow a raw diet, instead favoring almost any food that is healthy and tasty. And although I love to prepare food from scratch, there are times when convenience wins. I recently tried Two Moms in the Raw's Cranberry Granola Bars, and they are healthy, filling, and tasty. Buyer be warned, however: these are some serious granola bars! The bag comes with four, but they're big and dense, so half might be enough. What I love about them is the ingredients. Made with 100% organic oat groats, sunflower, pumpkin, flax, and sesame seeds, millet, buckwheat, apples, cinnamon, cranberries, pecans, and almonds, these granola bars are something else. But fantastic ingredients aside, what I love best is that half a bar (about 100 calories) sticks with me all morning while I teach. Since I can't stop to eat until lunchtime, I need an easy and filling breakfast that I can feel good about, and these granola bars definitely do it for me.
 Not Just a Granola Bar
by Aleisha Gibbons
While the Two Mom's in the Raw Granola Bars are in fact in a bar, I love breaking the bar into pieces and making a cereal out of it covering it with fresh, local berries and local milk. What I like most about this granola is that it's ingredients are all raw and it has an incredibly satisfying taste and flavor that gives me energy for hours.
