Gould Farm and the Berkshire Natural Fish Hatchery will hold a Woods and Fish Walk through the adjacent properties in Monterey & New Marlborough on September 4th from 1 to 3:30 pm.

Bob Rausch and Liz Halla-Mattingly from  Gould Farm will lead the first part of the hike, discussing the history, mission, and connection to the land at Gould Farm. The second half of the walk will be led by Joseph Xamountry from the Berkshire National Fish Hatchery, who will take you on a tour of the historic hatchery property, where, for over a century, hundreds of thousands of fish have been cultured in a pristine aquifer that supplies a system of beautiful, natural pools with 200 gallons of water per minute.

At the end of the 3 mile hike, van service back to Gould Farm will be provided.
