Farm Fresh
From Field to Fork: Our Local Farm Partnerships
At The Copper Grouse, our kitchen celebrates the distinct bounty of Vermont and the wider New England region. We believe that extraordinary meals begin long before the plate — with farmers working the land, maple groves in sugar-season, micro-greens harvested fresh, and fish landed nearby.
That’s why we partner closely with a curated network of small farms and specialty purveyors–many located just a short drive from Manchester Village. The result: dishes rooted in place, season and purpose.
Dorset Maple Reserve
Nestled on hundreds of forested acres with tens of thousands of sugar maples, Dorset Maple Reserve crafts maple syrup, maple sugar and cream-style maple products. We feature their smoked and single-malt aged syrups as a signature Vermont sweet note on the restaurant’s menu.
Vermont Fresh Pasta Company
Based in Proctorsville, VT and in operation since 1992, this house-made pasta producer supplies fresh ravioli, sauces and specialty pastas that we incorporate into seasonal dishes and chef specials.
Clear Brook Farms
A certified-organic Vermont farm offering vegetables, cheeses, yogurt, baked goods and meats. Their sustainable, multigenerational model aligns with our commitment to ingredient integrity and local sourcing.
Earth & Sky Time Community Farm & Bakery
From certified-organic bread and baked goods to community-farm produce, Earth & Sky Time provides bread baskets and side‐elements that form an essential part of our daily service and specials.
Bromley Farm Peru
A specialty-produce farm crafting micro-greens, edible flowers, garnish leaves and shoots in close collaboration with local chefs. Their fresh finishing touches appear on our plates each week.
