Independent journalism at the intersection of arts, food, and community life.
Founded in 2008, Rural Intelligence is a digital magazine covering the culture, arts, food, community, and style that define life in Berkshire County Massachusetts, Columbia and Dutchess County New York, and Litchfield County Connecticut.
Our reporting celebrates creativity and innovation while examining the challenges and opportunities shaping our rural communities today. We cover the artists, chefs, farmers, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders whose work reflects the evolving identity of this region. From restaurant openings and gallery exhibitions to small-business stories and complex local issues, we bring readers journalism rooted in integrity, curiosity, and a deep sense of place.
Rural Intelligence is both a guide and a record—a publication for readers who want to understand not only where to go, but what’s really happening and why it matters.

Independent local journalism strengthens our communities. If you value our work, please consider making a contribution to help sustain it.
