This year, the Brattleboro Union High School cafeteria has added local foods to its vending machine! Alongside more traditional vending machine snacks, Brattleboro Area Food Service Director Ali West is now stocking Brattleboro’s own True North Granola, Montpelier-based Garuka Bars, Rutland-based Sugar Bob’s Finest Kind, and Providence Rhode Island-based Shri Bark Snacks, all sourced from the Food Connects Food Hub. Ali is looking to add affordable local products to the current offerings throughout this school year. We’re excited to see how BUHS students and staff receive these new local snacks!
