True locavores know that cooking farm-to-table all year long requires a bit of old-fashioned know-how: canning, curing, jam-making. To showcase the art of preserving, this talented group of Berkshire chefs is returning to the Beard House with an array of regional ingredients culled from their carefully stocked winter larders.
