A DAY IN THE LIFE OF LENOX

Togetherness keeps Lenox afloat during past year

CASABLANCA

At the heart of Berkshire County is Lenox.

From here, one can access the entire region with ease.

But, the question begs, why would you leave town, when everything you want is already here? The town, after all, has been called home by such notable residents such as James Taylor, Yo-Yo Ma and Maureen Stapleton, and families like the Carnegies, Astors and Vanderbilts.

A community institution and supporter, Lee Bank recently asked us to take a closer look at Lenox, for this first installment A Day in the Life of …, a bimonthly UpCountry series that highlights what makes Berkshire County’s 32 towns such special places to visit, shop, work and live.

‘Small-town feel’ A resident of town for more than 28 years, Suzanne Merritt, owner of Lenox Fit, says she and other families came to Lenox as visitors and stayed for very specific reasons.

“I think everyone is looking for a version of the same thing, which is a small town, a protected feeling, a safe environment, where everybody knows everybody,” says Merritt.

“People who live here seem to really look out for one another.”

Merritt grew up in a town just outside New York City, which was isolating despite the large number of residents. “Living down in that area with such a huge population, it boosts a

sense of anonymity, whereas up here you get a much more community-oriented feel,” Merritt says.

At no time was that more apparent than the pandemic, she says, when caring was on full display between the community and the businesses that call Lenox home.

‘A lot of bang for your buck’ Jennifer Nacht, director of the Lenox Chamber of Commerce, says the town’s central location and concentrated downtown are an attractant for many visitors.

“The downtown is three blocks that’s completely walkable. Within a quarter mile, there’s Ventfort Hall, there are shops, there are restaurants, there are parks, there are trails,” says Nacht. “You get a lot of bang for your buck when you visit Lenox.”

In addition to being home to Ventfort, a mansion and Gilded Age museum, Nacht says the town is an incredible mix of venues, from the larger, such as Tanglewood, Shakespeare and Co., and Edith Wharton’s home, The Mount, to the smaller, as with Sohn Fine Art and the Pumphrey Gallery.

“Even though we’ve got Wi-Fi and people are driving Teslas, we still have the charm,” she says.

‘Everybody knows your name’ Tina Bartini has been the area manager for the Lenox and Pittsfield offices of Lee Bank for

the past year and half, working out of the Lenox branch for the past six.

Lenox is a town like “Cheers,” the classic 1980s sitcom “where everybody knows your name,” says Bartini. Her clients are rarely strangers, and newcomers quickly become friends. “It just makes you love your job.”

A Berkshire native, daughter of a Lee mill worker and former resident of Lenox, Bartini says her bank is both a responsible community member and builder, helping Lenox thrive and remain a top place to visit in the Berkshires, says Bartini.

The hope is that some of its many visitors will want to move here.

“I want to make this area so that people can come back here and actually live,” says Bartini.

Firefly Gastropub and Catering Co. 71 Church St. • 413-637-2700 Fireflylenox.com Facebook: Fireflygastropub Instagram: Fireflygastropub About us: We’re under new ownership but have the same great management, plus a new and exciting menu.

‘Local decision making … will never go away’ Lee Bank President Chuck Leach says his bank is, by design, part of the fabric of the local community.

“I think that’s been forgotten somewhere along the way by most banks, which have pursued a model of scale,” says Leach. “The local decision making, the relationship aspect, the hands-on give and take will never go away.”

Inherent in the bank’s relationship with Lenox is economic development, says Leach, which it infuses into Lenox via commercial and municipal lending, sponsorships, volunteerism and philanthropy, through its new charitable arm, The Lee Bank Foundation.

Being able to give money to Lenox recipients is wonderful, notes Leach, but “the secret sauce that enables community building is people.”

“Other banks offer more commodities. Our point of differentiation is the people, people like Tina and the teams that she manages, and our customers within the community.”

BERKSHIRE CLASSIC LEATHER AND SILVER

For local business owner Merritt, the welcoming feel of her town has always drawn her back to the green hills of Western Massachusetts, no matter where her journey took her.

“I’ve traveled all over the world, and nothing feels better than coming home to Lenox in the Berkshires,” says Merritt.

“I just feel like I’m home when I’m here.”

THE GIFTED CHILD

27 Church St. (shop left) • 413-551-7475 glendalebrookstudio.com glendalebrookstudio@gmail.com Instagram: glendalebrookstudio About us: Maybe you would love to own a Matisse, but you either can’t afford an original Matisse or don’t feel like spending $17 million. Instead, you can own a work of original art in your home or business that has the air of a Matisse but also offers something new. It’s a big step up from museum posters, and it is very special to have original art in your home instead of copies. We have hundreds of colorful hard-edge abstract paintings. We invite you to examine our collection, and we welcome your feedback. Our doors are open to everyone who values the excitement of an artful journey.

17 Housatonic St. • 413-637-2777 JanetPumphrey.com JHPumphrey@gmail.com Facebook: janet.pumphrey Instagram: janetpumphrey About us: Last year, I opened my new gallery in June, and, because the pandemic got worse, I closed it at the end of October. During those five months, most of the visitors were tourists, and many had never been to the Berkshires before. All said they would be back after the cultural venues returned, so I am looking forward to a booming tourist business this summer and fall. I want local folks to know that I am open again, and I hope that they come — many for the first time. I am also hopeful of having a real re-opening reception in the early summer. In my photography, I consider inherent, traditional realism as a starting point, and I appreciate the ability to manipulate a photograph through the artistic imagery available both in-camera and in post-processing by turning what was a realistic photograph into a creative work of art. My work is painterly, sometimes impressionistic, sometimes abstract.

SPONSORED CONTENT

A gilded golf experience for everyone Wyndhurst Manor & Club welcomes Berkshire locals and visitors to challenge themselves on this rehabbed 1926 course

BY NOAH HOFFENBERG Sponsored content editor LENOX — Luke Salvatore was lured into golf with sweet promises of doughnuts and chocolate milk.

“My grandfather was really into golf, and he had a weekly Saturday group first thing in the morning at what was then Cranwell. When I was about 9 years old, he would drag me out there once a month with him and his buddies,” recalls Salvatore, born and raised in Lee, but now living in Hinsdale. “At 9 years old, it was a pretty miserable experience to have to get up that early, but the time with my grandfather, and love developed for the game and this piece of property, was worth every second.”

During four years of golf at Lee High School, Salvatore found himself the low man on the Wyndhurst Manor & Club golf crew, fetching balls at the driving range for eight hours a day. That journey started in 1994.

Today, Salvatore is the director of golf at the same place he learned to swing a club, overseeing a team of 12 colleagues and a professional staff.

Salvatore knows that it will take more than sweets to bring fledgling and veteran golfers for a visit to Wyndhurst Manor & Club, the former Cranwell resort.

FRESHLY RENOVATED Fortunately, the longtime links minder has fresh and attractive renovations to show off: In 2017, Cranwell was bought

by Hyatt. The company divided the resort into a pair of golf and wellness destinations, adding depth to the visitor experience for each, whether for half day, full day or several.

Recently completed, the Wyndhurst Manor & Club now offers a reconfigured, historic course; a brand new practice putting green; and mansion-style amenities at prices fit for the general public.

The 18-hole course still boasts its spectacular Berkshire views and challenging golf. However, the course — designed and built by Wayne Stiles and John Van Kleek in 1926 — has been reoriented and flipped, says Salvatore, such that the notorious back nine is now up front, which makes for a better outing.

“You get the same 18 holes, but the flow change makes it more user friendly. Before, the original back nine was an absolute monster, a really tough stretch of holes,” says Salvatore.

“We’ve moved these to the front nine now, so you have that period of time to recover your day.”

Salvatore says the course is ideal for all levels. “The better player is going to be challenged and the beginner is going to find it approachable, too.

Luke Salvatore, the golf director at Wyndhurst Manor & Club in Lenox, says don’t be dissuaded by the mansion. He says his club offers unrivaled play, access and amenities. For more information on day and membership fees, call Wyndhurst Manor & Club at 844-284-8642, email experienceplanning@ miravalresorts.com or visit wyndhurstmanorandclub.com. and Bar, which serves classic American cuisine.

It’s this kind of attention to detail and amenities that Salvatore says both Berkshire and far-flung golfers will want to take advantage of, as well as locals and visitors who would like a great evening out.

Wyndhurst Manor & Club amenities • Historic 18-hole golf course • Club pro shop • 10-acre practice facilities with private and group instruction available • GPS-equipped golf carts • 1894 Bistro & Bar: fine dining • Sloane’s Tavern: casual dining • Miraval Day Spa Package available Call 844-284-8642, email experienceplanning@ miravalresorts.com or visit wyndhurstmanorandclub. com.

You don’t see that very much,” says Salvatore.

Because of the relationship with Miraval Berkshires, guests there can experience Mindful Golf sessions at Wyndhurst, which go beyond perfecting your swing to help you become more self-aware and present, not only in golf but also in life.

13 ORIGINAL HOLES, PLUS 5 IMPROVED ONES, TOO Playing on the course never gets old for Salvatore, who relishes equally the historic nature of the course, its challenge and variety.

“We have 13 original holes that Stiles and Van Kleek designed, down to a T, and all the other changes I have made, I believe, really stayed true to the original architect’s

“You can play the course and hit every club in your bag.”

Hyatt’s upgrades also included adding or redesigning 19 tee boxes, some new bunkering, an 8,500-square-foot putting green, with nine flags that match what you see and experience on the Wyndhurst course.

Also new: GPS systems equipped in the Wyndhurst golf carts. For a course spread out over 380 acres, the GPS will make it handy to find your way back to the clubhouse and provide a heads-up view of the course as you play.

“That’s especially helpful for first-time players, who don’t have the familiarity with the course,” says Salvatore. “There are

some holes that require local knowledge.”

The GPS also will display pro tips, and it offers the ability to order and pick up food and drinks, which can be done at certain designated spots on the course.

“Then it’s grab and go, whether it’s adult beverages or something off the menu,” says Salvatore.

IDEAL FACILITIES From a golfer perspective, the facilities are ideal, from the course to new practice areas and the redesigned driving range, says Salvatore.

He also notes that there are memberships available, if you want more than the occasional round of play.

“There’s no one else

that offers indoor and outdoor swimming, a fitness club, tennis courts and of course golf, all in a very affordable membership package,” says Salvatore.

Just because it’s located at a mansion doesn’t mean the club is only catering to the elite, notes Salvatore.

“The accessibility is for the locals as well. I think historically, for at least my 27 years here, the stigma of having the mansion sitting on top of the hill has dissuaded locals from coming, and the reality is that it’s an amazingly welcoming place and an awesome environment to grab dinner and cocktails.”

Salvatore refers to Sloane’s Tavern, also updated, which serves casual fare, or some finer dining at the 1894 Fireside Bistro

VISIT THE WEBSITE FOR UP-TO-DATE RATES Salvatore notes that, during off peak seasons April, May and October, visitors can get unlimited play for a day pass. “You can make a day trip out here and play 36 holes if you want,” says Salvatore.

Wyndhurst has also just kicked off a stay-and-play package that’s available for May, June, September and October. For a twonight minimum, visitors get to stay at Wyndhurst Manor, with three rounds of golf included, as well as 20 percent off lessons.

For those visitors looking for a spa retreat, Miraval Berkshires is next door, and there’s day packages for Wyndhurst guests and locals.

Both resorts employ federal- and state-recommended measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, and as of late April, outdoor guests can be maskless. Other safety measures, such as social distancing, still apply.

For more information on day and membership fees, call Wyndhurst Manor & Club at 844-284-8642, email berkshires.reservations@miravalresorts.com or visit wyndhurstmanorandclub.com.

His vision/your one-stop shop A Q&A with Chris Weld, founder of The Pass, on his seed-to-sale cannabis business in the 413

BY NOAH HOFFENBERG

Founder Chris Weld, in the greenhouse at The Pass in Sheffield recently. Of his fondness for the cannabis plant, he says, “I love the smell of the plant. I love working with the plant. I love the science and the genetics of it. One of the reasons I dove in, is with my medical background, I felt there was an opportunity to educate the populace on cannabis and demystify it a bit.”

Sponsored content editor SHEFFIELD — There’s something Chris Weld wants you to know: He’s not just passing through.

You’ll likely recognize the Sheffield resident, as he’s the man behind Berkshire Mountain Distillers Inc. and now The Pass, a distinct recreational cannabis dispensary on North Main Street that opened last year.

About 15 years ago, Weld left a career in emergency medicine in California, and bought a dilapidated apple farm in town, put down roots and started his distillery.

What’s followed is nothing short of the revitalization of a sleepy Berkshires town. On top of the jobs and tax revenue generated by Weld’s other venture, his latest — The Pass — already has grown from an initial staff of six to several dozen.

And The Pass is growing in capacity, expanding its production abilities with a new 43,000-square-foot grow site being built in Ashley Falls. That will bring another 25 jobs to the area, says Weld.

The positive ripple effects on the town are evident, Weld notes.

Now one of the largest employers in Sheffield, Weld believes other businesses are feeling the bump in foot traffic.

The Pass founder sat down with The Eagle recently to offer a glimpse behind the curtain at his singular dispensary, to talk about how its seed-to-sale ops are a benefit to the consumer, “and why we do what we do, why we love doing what we do and where we are headed.”

Some of that interview follows:

The Pass produces nearly all of its own product in-house. on education and empathy. It’s neat to watch the dialogues that go back and forth. These people come in, they’re just cannabis curious, and we have a wonderful staff that’s very approachable and kind, which is nice to see and experience.

Q

How did you end up starting a recreational cannabis dispensary?

CW: I love the smell of the plant. I love working with the plant. I love the science and the genetics of it. One of the reasons I dove in, is with my medical background, I felt there was an opportunity to educate the populace on cannabis and demystify it a bit. Certainly there was a business motivation to it, and I felt like there was an opportunity to really help out in the town. In this industry, the host community receives 3 percent of our revenue. I had early hopes of bringing some economic viability to Sheffield, which fortunately has come to fruition.

Q

What were the challenges in opening The Pass during the pandemic?

CW: I think Massachusetts has done many things very well. But it’s inherently an incredibly complex industry, especially with the regulations that are required at this point in time. The bureaucracy and the red tape was the hardest part for us, and COVID certainly delayed us and has affected us significantly in terms of how we can staff and how many people we can have in the room.

And, we have had growing pains.

We started with six employees a year ago, and are close to 70 now.

Today, the challenge is still finding good help in the Berkshires and jumping through the hoops in the state.

Q

What do you love most about your team?

CW: We’ve vetted and hired an

Q amazing, diverse group of people.

It’s certainly one of the things that helps us stand out. We have a bunch of Berkshire locals but we also have plenty of people who have relocated to the area and made it their home. It brings a much-needed demographic to the Berkshires, especially South County, where most of our staff is 25 to 35, a mix of young women and men. We have people coming from the catering world, coming from typical food service roles, where they wouldn’t have a job otherwise. It’s a very fun environment, as well, where we have everything on-site, so a retail staffer isn’t only stuck to interacting with retail people. They interact with cultivators and extraction engineers over coffee and water in the breakroom. If offers cross-utilization of employees, too.

Q

With a younger staff working in a town and region that skew older, how’s the connection going between your employees and their customers?

CW: We get a lot of 80-yearolds who don’t know anything about cannabis, other than they heard “that this cream really works” or some horror stories about an edible. Our staff really approaches patrons with patience and with a focus

What makes The Pass stand out from other dispensaries?

CW: The fact that we are doing all in-store shopping, meaning people are entering the store to get products. We’re not doing an outside tent. We have expedited preordering as well as walk-in ordering, so you can just hop off of Route 7 without having to do any planning. One of the great things about our store is that we’ve prepacked most of our stuff in common denominations, and that allows us to spend more time on education with customers, and customers can get in and out more quickly. You don’t have to wait for it to be weighed at the counter. Not many cannabis groups are vertically integrated like us.

Q

Vertically integrated?

What does that mean?

CW: Meaning not many groups are like us, growing, packaging, processing cannabis and having a retail store. Being vertical, we do everything onsite. When we’re harvesting the indoor grow, people can smell it in the store while checking out.

There’s also a chain of product quality control, so we know exactly what genetics we’ll have, we’ll know what that plant has seen and what’s been done to it.

We’ll be able to curate our genetics, and curate our cultivars, and we can keep taking plants that produce the best. It makes for a fantastic selection. This is a very savvy consumer group, much like craft beer or wine consumTHE ABOVE IS PAID SPONSORED CONTENT

ers. They know what they like, they’re looking for a certain terpene profile, a certain cannabinoid, so we can sort of guide and grow those needs. That whole chain of command and quality control that goes from seed to sale, benefits the consumer.

Q

How might the average customer experience this vertical integration, other than The Pass having lively selection?

CW: There’s a bevy of cannabis stores out there that have to source everything that they have.

Having total control of the process, we can hold some product back and allocate accordingly, so we never run out or have a diminished array of products.

The vertical business allows us to moderate that ebb and flow and we can keep things at a more steady state in an industry that’s not known for that. It kind of insulates us a bit from the inconsistencies of supply throughout the state.

Q

And even though you’re vertical and grow your own, you still carry other brands?

CW: We’ve curated a great selection in the store from partners that we have great synergy with, and we’re able to do business with others who aren’t in Berkshire shops. We made it a point to carry other products, because we aren’t too overconfident to say that we’re going to make everything the best, and be the only ones that make it. We have a well-rounded menu by having partner companies that we work with, by having their products on our menu and our product on theirs.

Q

What kind of information goes into deciding what strains or products to carry?

CW: One example: We had a lot of people looking for gummies that had sleep aids added to them, as well as other supplements. We developed a Knockout Gummy, which is our fruit punch

gummy with melatonin added to it. We want to sell products our customers will like. We’ve allowed the people who run the store and are there day to day to have input and be heard. It allows us to be nimble and pivot in product creation, based on feedback from customers and staff. If we find that customers are looking for a particular product, we can make that product pretty quickly in house and get it onto a shelf in about two months.

There’s no guarantee feedback goes anywhere with other cannabis companies. With us, it goes directly to the right people.

Q

What kind of experience can visitors of The Pass expect?

CW: One of the beautiful things about our shop is it being spacious, open and airy. We have a lot of wall space that we use like a gallery for local artists every month. There’s also a permanent mural that takes up half the building. It’s beautiful and calming. On weekends, we do have a line for a couple minutes, so at least there’s something beautiful to look at. We have large- and small-format menus to browse while you’re in line or at the counter. There are display cases, with examples of products with our partner companies, as well as examples of cannabis accessories. And just this month, we started to release Pass merchandise. T-shirts, enamel pins, hats and bandanas, and we’re going to be doing merch drops seasonally.

Q

And your team is maintaining a healthy and safe space?

CW: Everything is socially distanced, with markers on the floor. We limited the number of people in the shop, with the overflow in a line on the patio.

And we take a lot of time to make sure the shop is sanitized throughout the day to maintain the cleanliness. There’s this ease of access across the board. It’s not just the large parking area or a covered porch. There’s an emotional ease of access. A lot of people are influenced by the stigma surrounding cannabis.

It’s rapidly falling, but here it just melts away. Apprehension just drifts off, and people get wrapped up in the experience and come out knowing a bit more about cannabis and how it might help them.
