H.O.P.E.'s Summer Produce Program

For the 5th year, H.O.P.E. was awarded a Vermonters Feeding Vermonters mini grant through the Vermont Foodbank.

We are once again working with local growers Small Axe Farm as well as Firefly Farm to provide quality fresh produce options to the community, free of charge. Produce is available every Wednesday, from now thru late September/mid October from 10 am to 5 pm outside under our purple canopy. Produce is also available inside our store in our services area on a first serve first come basis.

Stop in for the best selection! Check our Facebook page for a weekly produce list.
