Massachusetts farmers are national leaders in direct sales to consumers, according to data from the first extensive national survey of local food sales.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture conducted the special study, as directed by the 2014 Farm Bill.  

WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Winton Pitcoff, director of the Massachusetts Food System Collaborative.

The record-setting tenure of Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. The 2011 tornado and its recovery that remade the largest city in Western Massachusetts. The fallout from the deadly COVID outbreak at the Holyoke Soldiers Home. Those are just a few of the thousands and thousands of stories WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill has covered for WAMC in his nearly 17 years with the station.
