BerkShares Community Quotables...

I personally support Berkshares because I believe in small government and community solidarity. When you consciously choose to buy local you think about the whole picture; where the product originated, how it was made, who made it and recognize the consequences of consumption, overall making a better global citizen, a healthier environment and a new generation that purchases with a conscience.

A good community, as we know, insures itself by trust,
by good faith and good will, by mutual help,
A good community, in other words, is a good local economy.
