Mad River Taste Place & 5th Quarter Butcher Shop Claimed

Welcome to the Mad River Taste Place — a specialty grocery store featuring a curated collection of local Vermont products, thoughtfully selected to educate and delight. Bring home the best of Vermont.

In 2016, we had a vision to create a single destination that showcases and celebrates the best food and beverages in the Mad River Valley and across of Vermont. Our goal—then and now—is to support local makers by sharing their inspiration and stories, and promoting the creation, terroir and superior quality of their products while connecting them to customers in Vermont and beyond. We opened the Mad River Taste Place in July 2017 to bring that vision to life and in 2020, we expanded our online store to continue to deliver these exceptional products across the US.

Our team is experienced in all aspects of the food & beverage industry, from trained chefs and whole meat butchery to certified sommelier and cicerone. With deep backgrounds in food marketing and events, Vermont farming practices, culinary arts and superior customer service, our knowledgeable staff is committed to delivering an informative and enjoyable experience for you at the Mad River Taste Place.
