Week-Long Walk To Highlight Sights, Scenes And Tastes Of Berkshires

A local cookbook author is taking a serious “staycation” to highlight the nature, culture and food the Berkshires have to offer. Working with Berkshire Farm & Table, Alana Chernila and her husband are starting a 75-mile walk from the Vermont border to the Connecticut border Sunday to see the sights of Berkshire County – stopping to fuel up at well-regarded restaurants and rest their heads at the area’s lodging sites. Alana spoke with WAMC’s Berkshire Bureau Chief Jim Levulis about the upcoming journey, coined “SlowBerkshires.”

You can follow Alana and her husband during their journey on Twitter and Instagram using #slowbershires.

Jim was WAMC’s Assistant News Director and hosted WAMC's flagship news programs: Midday Magazine, Northeast Report and Northeast Report Late Edition.
