Ways you can Cultivate Community (and why it matters!)

• Greeting everyone who visits or lives in the region with kindness fosters new connections and helps make this a nice place to be.
• Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, experience the region in a more personal way, and give back to the community.
• Shopping and dining locally contributes to the economic vitality of our region and reduces our carbon footprint.
  • Many local restaurants serve farm-fresh dishes with sustainably sourced ingredients grown right here in the Mahoosuc region!
  • Stop by the Bethel or Greenwood farmers markets to meet local farmers and shop for fresh, local produce, meats, breads, flowers, and more!
• Exploring local culture by visiting museums, art galleries, and historical sites or attending live performances and films is an enlightening and fun way to experience many facets of the community.
  • Find a directory of local businesses on the Bethel Area Chamber of Commerce website. Don’t forget to check out their Events Calendar, too!
