The Berry Center is dedicated to bringing focus, knowledge and cohesion to the work of changing our ruinous industrial agricultural system into a system and culture that uses nature as the standard, accepts no permanent damage to the ecosphere, and takes into consideration human health in local communities. Much of their vision stems from speeches, letters, manuscripts and articles from author Wendell Berry, his father, lawyer and farmer John M. Berry, Sr., and his brother, state senator and lawyer, John M. Berry, Jr. reflect a single vision: a state and a nation of prosperous well-tended farms serving and supporting healthy local communities.
The Agrarian Culture Center and Bookstore at The Berry Center develops cultural programming for rural readers, encouraging the preservation of local knowledge and pride of place for generations of people who are ever more distant from their agrarian roots.
The Berry Center Offices are open for regular business Tuesday-Friday from 10am-5pm. For visitors, we ask that you come take a tour on Wednesday or Friday between 1pm and 4pm, and try to schedule ahead so that we can be ready and waiting to welcome you. Please email info@berrycenter.org with questions or to schedule a visit. We’ll see you in New Castle!
