Meet the Team

Gary Happ opened his first restaurant in Great Barrington in 1977. Originally from Long Island, NY, Gary has made the Berkshires his home for over 40 years. Now, the co-owner of the Barrington Brewery and Restaurant, Gary operates his new banquet facility with the help of Head Chef - Mike Terranova, and his daughter, Chelsea Huff. 

The Crissey Farm kitchens use the finest local ingredients whenever possible and serve our own beer form the Barrington Brewery and Restaurant. Andrew Mankin, brewmaster, updates the beers seasonally and four taps are available at Crissey Farm's bar.

Our chef, Mike Terranova, regularly updates the menu to reflect the bounty of the changing seasons. With an assortment of appetizers and entrees, we are certain there is something for everyone to enjoy year-round. 

Crissey Farm’s kitchen is also lucky to have master baker, Colleen Kelly-Cahill, baking petite treats, cakes & special requests for your event.

Gary with daughter, Chelsea (Happ) Huff, who acts as Event Coordinator and General Manager for the Crissey Farm. Chelsea's services include coordinating every detail on the day of your event to ensure you and your guests have a perfect experience.
