Summer Team-Building Event – Hilltop Orchards
Kicking off the start of summer, Atlas associates headed to Hilltop Orchards in the picturesque Berkshire Mountains. Their guided tour included a nature walk and wine-tasting. They explored “Johnny Mash,” a 2.2-mile trail that took them through the woods surrounding the apple orchard. After the hike, they enjoyed refreshments and live music at the Winery.
The 200-acre Western Massachusetts location hosts a variety of events year round. They produce “residue-free” apples and their store offers a diverse collection of wines, cider, cider donuts, baked goods, preserves, and more.

Joined by Kim and Reggie Harris, renowned folk singers and storytellers, and Rabbi Jonathan Kligler, a masterful folk guitarist and singer, the chorus shared “stories of freedom through song and through history.” For more information, visit www.neimah.org.
