About the company
Berkshire Agricultural Ventures, Inc., a tax-exempt non-profit organization based in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, is a recipient of federal grants supporting regional food system development, farm operational capacity, and meat and poultry processing infrastructure across the Berkshire-Taconic region of Massachusetts, New York, and Connecticut. The organization competes as a grant recipient rather than a contract prime, with 85% of recent awards as prime recipient and 15% as a sub-recipient under university-led collaborations.
Berkshire Agricultural Ventures' customer base concentrates with the Department of Agriculture. All thirteen recent awards come from USDA, split across three constituent agencies: the Rural Business Cooperative Services (eight awards), the Agricultural Marketing Service (three awards), and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (two awards). The distribution reflects a portfolio anchored to rural development and food-system strengthening rather than commodity production. The organization has no federal contract prime awards and does not hold seats on federal acquisition vehicles or IDIQs; all activity consists of grant and cooperative-agreement funding.
Representative prime grant work includes a $304,765 Cooperative Agreement from USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service under the Regional Food System Partnerships program (CFDA 10.177) awarded March 1, 2026, with performance running through February 29, 2028, supporting planning, development, and technical assistance for regional food systems in the three-state Berkshire-Taconic region; a $532,389 Regional Food System Partnerships project grant from October 31, 2021 through October 30, 2024, funding formal collaboration development among agricultural producers, agencies, and organizations; and a $630,000 Meat and Poultry Intermediary Lending Program project grant (CFDA 10.382) from March 22, 2023 through March 22, 2025, enabling Berkshire Agricultural Ventures to provide financing for meat and poultry processor start-up and expansion in Massachusetts. The organization also holds recurring Rural Business Cooperative Services grants under the Rural Business Development Grant program and the Rural Micro Development Organizations Grant program (CFDA 10.769), with awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
In sub-recipient capacity, Berkshire Agricultural Ventures collaborates on livestock farmer education and farm viability projects led by the University of Delaware (July 2024) and the University of Vermont (May 2022). Award activity has been modest and variable — one award in 2022, four in 2023, two in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — with three awards reaching completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined obligated dollars across all prime and sub work total $2.4 million. The organization's capability footprint centers on technical assistance, financial intermediation, and stakeholder coordination for regional food system resilience, farm viability, and producer market access.
