Covid Updates
Please find news, information, and resources below regarding the coronavirus emergency and how Berkshire Roots is responding.
To our loyal Berkshire Roots family,
We continue to adjust our Covid protocols with the most recent updates s for our Boston location. The city of Boston recently removed its indoor mask mandate on 3.5.2022. As of this time, face coverings are no longer required to be worn in our retail store, it is an option if you would like to continue to.
The State of Massachusetts does recommend that people who are not fully vaccinated and boosted, those with underlying medical conditions, or if someone in your household has a compromised immune system, you should continue wearing a face covering.
Please check back here for updates to our Covid policy and feel free to reach out if you have any specific questions. Info@BerkshireRoots.com

Based on the latest information about the rapid spread of the COVID 19 Delta Variant, we require all guests wear face coverings when shopping indoors. While vaccinated people are less at risk themselves, it is still possible to spread the virus.
We also require keeping space between you and other patrons when inside the store. Thank you for your cooperation.
