Hello, You've arrived at Connoisseur's Corner right here on w
b Z. I'm Jordan Rich. Today's guest connoisseur is Matt Robinson,

Speaker 2 (00:17):
When I'm drinking cider more often than not is from
Champlain Orchards in Vermont. I love their mac and maple,
which is like quintessential Vermont, and their farmstead cider all
year round, and they have their seasonal releases like the
Honey Crisp and are the recently released tusc and Blue.
But the biggest news is that they such a wonderful family.
They're so giving, They support so many other farmers and

(00:38):
food makers in Vermont and elsewhere, And for the whole
next year, they're going to be donating a quarter pound
of produce for every four pack of cider they sell.
They're calling it the Cider for Good Program. They grow
over one hundred and seventy different variety of food on
their farm, so not only will it bring nutrition to
a lot of people, but it will probably educate a
lot of people about all the bounty that we have

(01:00):
this area. The program is being hosted throughout New England
and also in New Jersey and Delaware, and like I said,
it's going to run all year round. So whether you
buy it at the store or at Champlain Orchards dot Com,
not only will you get delicious food and great gifts,
but you'll also be supporting people who aren't as fortunate
and prod uce a little help with food and security.
