To the Community:

We’re thrilled to share the results of last week’s fundraising initiative coordinated by 5th Quarter Butcher + Provisions and The Local: Wine & Beer. 

Between the unforgettable benefit dinner in The Tasting Room on Dec. 4, the spirited live auction led by Master Sommelier David Keck, and the weeklong online auction that wrapped on Dec. 7, our community came together in a big way — raising more than $11,000 for Community Harvest of Central Vermont.

This generosity will help CHCV continue rescuing fresh local food and getting it onto the tables of Vermonters who need it most. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who bid, attended, donated, cooked, poured, and cheered us on.

Thank you to our Mad River Valley community for showing up for our neighbors and for helping us make an impact this holiday season.
