We’re a unique collective of Vermont farmers, makers, bakers, and shakers in the heart of the Mad River Valley.

3 Squares VT / SNAP
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) offers nutrition assistance to millions of eligible, low-income individuals and families and provides economic benefits to communities. In fact, SNAP is the largest program in the domestic hunger safety net. The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) works with key stakeholders in every state to ensure that those eligible for nutrition assistance can make informed decisions about applying for the program and can access benefits.
Farm to Family
Farm to Family is a program funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). These coupons are in denominations of $6.00 and helps individuals buy fresh fruits and vegetables, locally grown from Vermont farms and at Farmers Markets. Look for vendors at our Market with the Farm to Family Program sign to accept your coupons.
Crop Cash
Crop Cash is a double-value coupon program that promotes the purchase of fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs at farmers markets that accept 3SquaresVT/SNAP benefits. In essence, Crop Cash is an incentive dollar that is earned for 3SquaresVT/SNAP purchases for use on the future purchase of fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, seeds, and starts at the market. Coupons are marked specifically to each Market and available year round. NOFA-VT manages this program.

1st Ever MRV - Discover Waterbury Combined Chamber Mixer
2026-10-21 17:30 - 19:00 | Moose Meadow Lodge, 607 Crossett Hill , Waterbury, VT, 05676, United States
They said it would never happen, but the times are a changin’! In this era of divisiveness all around us, we are working hard to build as many bridges as we can. We take great pleasure in working ever more closely with our good neighbors at out counterpart organization, Discover Waterbury. We are doing all we can to promote our interconnected region and encourage visitation and collaboration.
To enhance that collaboration we thought it would be a great idea to have a joint social gathering to celebrate our combined work and encourage further collaboration. And what better venue than the magnificent inn and grounds at the famous Moose Meadow Lodge & Treehouse located in the “neutral” ground” of Duxbury Vermont, AKA “De-Lux-Bury”!
If you haven’t been to the lodge and treehouse or been to one of their summer concerts you are in for an absolute treat, especially in the autumn. There will be more specifics coming up about this meeting as we get closer so stay tuned.
One of the MRV-DW collaborations that has been significant has been our work to bring international tourists to our Route 100 corridor. Learn more about this work…

Coffee With an Advisor
2026-11-04 09:00 - 10:30 | MRV Chamber Welcome Center, 9 Route 17, Waitsfield, VT, 05673, United States
Life is full of questions, and money is no different. Sometimes you just want to ask something. Bring or pour a cup of your favorite warm beverage, and join me at the Mad River Valley Welcome Center. Come as you are. All are welcome. And every question counts—simple, complex, or somewhere in between. It’s a relaxed, open conversation about money, planning, and whatever’s on your mind. Kassie Reid from Greenhill Financial Planners will be on hand to chat.
Each quarter we’ll have a different theme to get the conversation going;

March: A Fresh StartPour a cup and bring your thoughts and curiosities. The start of the year is a natural time to evaluate your goals and priorities, capture momentum, and plan for the year ahead. This space is designed to welcome everyone, whether your questions feel simple, complicated, or somewhere in between. It’s a relaxed, open conversation about money, planning, and whatever’s on your mind.

May: Summer PauseLonger days and shifting routines can make this time of year feel both energizing and full, so before summer sweeps you away, take a moment to pause. Bring whatever’s on your mind—upcoming plans, changing expenses, or simply a question you’ve been meaning to ask. This is a relaxed, welcoming space to reflect, recalibrate, and talk through money decisions in a way that feels grounded and practical. Come as you are and join the conversation.

August: Fall TransitionsAs the seasons shift, so do routines and priorities. Settle in with something warm and join an open conversation about what this transition might bring—new schedules, business cycles, evolving goals, or unexpected change. We could explore how these shifts connect to your financial life, from cash flow to longer-term direction, or wherever the discussion naturally leads. Bring your questions and curiosity.

November: Year’s EndAs the year winds down, it’s a natural time to reflect on what’s unfolded and consider what comes next. Gather your thoughts and join the conversation around year-end considerations—from giving and tax planning to tying up loose ends or preparing for January. This is a supportive place to organize your reflections, acknowledge progress, and make intentional decisions before the calendar turns. Wherever you’re at, you’re welcome at the table.

MRV Women in Business - Social Media Workshop
2026-11-12 08:00 - 17:00 | MRV Chamber Welcome Center, 9 Route 17, Waitsfield, VT, 05673, United States
These bi-monthly workshops are a place to have an open conversation about social media, what is working for everyone, what isn’t, what do you need help with? The MRV Chamber’s MRV Women in Business group decided to host these bi-monthly Social Media Workshops in the months in between the more structured MRV Women in Business Meetings. It is meant to be an open, collaborative brainstorming session designed to help you feel a little more prepared the next time you create a post or reel.
Let’s be honest, social media can feel overwhelming.
What do you post?
Should you use trending sounds?
Do captions really matter?
What makes a strong hook?
Why should people follow your page? Is your SEO set up?
This workshop is a space to come together and talk all things social. We’ll brainstorm content ideas, discuss what’s actually working right now, explore collaborations, and share experiences. The goal? You leave feeling inspired and ready to create a few new posts for your page. We will share hook ideas, trending sound ideas, adding words to the screen, adding captions, and anything else you would like to cover. The event is hosted by Samantha Ciccone, the coordinator of the MRV Women in Business Group.
Please feel free to BYOB if you’d like to sip while we brainstorm, and you’re welcome to grab snacks from Peace Burger across the street or from your favorite local spot.
