Shaun Opperman and his wife, Amanda Opperman, are the owners/operators of Berkshire Organics, a local food hub that connects consumers with Western Massachusetts farmers through a home delivery grocery service. By virtue of his involvement with the local Berkshire food system, Shaun has evolved to eat like a farmer. He spends his days coordinating with farmers, ranchers, bakers, and food artisans to source the highest-quality and most interesting ingredients the Berkshires has to offer, and then cooks accordingly. His family’s diet, and his cooking style, revolve around our region’s offerings at any given moment. Shaun knows that locally grown fruits and vegetables are both better tasting, and better for you. A small business owner and father of three, Shaun’s general approach to food involves simple fare with the highest-quality ingredients possible. His seasonal recipes are meant to work for those with full lives and busy evenings who need a nutritional plate, easily.
