Community Partners
Provisions International is more than a distributor. We're an active participant in the regional and specialty food community — showing up, contributing and building relationships that make the entire system stronger.
Organizations We Support
These organizations reflect our commitment to food access, cooperative food systems and regional business.
Willing Hands
We donate otherwise unsellable products to Willing Hands to reduce waste and support local food access in the Upper Valley. Good food shouldn't go to waste when neighbors need it.
Neighboring Food Co-op Association (NFCA)
We're an active member of the NFCA, strengthening cooperative food systems and regional collaboration. Through our monthly Cave to Co-op feature, we highlight specialty products and support co-ops with focused promotions.
Hartford Area Chamber of Commerce & Upper Valley Business Alliance
We stay connected to the regional business community through networking, local development initiatives and active participation in the organizations that support the economies we operate in.
Industry Memberships
We stay engaged with the specialty food industry through active membership in organizations that set standards, support producers, and connect buyers, distributors and makers.
- American Cheese Society
- Oldways Cheese Coalition
- Specialty Food Association
- Vermont Cheese Council
- Vermont Specialty Food Association
These aren't passive affiliations. We attend events, participate in educational programming, contribute to industry conversations and bring what we learn back to the producers and customers we serve.
How We Show Up
Membership and affiliation are just the beginning. Here's what active participation looks like in practice:
- Cave to Co-op: A monthly feature that spotlights specialty products and supports co-op partners with focused promotions
- Farm Focus: A monthly promotion that highlights cheesemakers and the work happening at the farm level
- Industry events and trade shows through the American Cheese Society, Specialty Food Association, and Oldways Cheese Coalition
- Tastings, demos, and hands-on support with co-ops, retailers, and chefs
- Producer connections: helping emerging and established producers reach new markets and buyers
- Food waste reduction: donating usable product to Willing Hands rather than discarding it

Part of Something Larger
We see our role as part of a larger ecosystem, not just a point of distribution. The partnerships and memberships on this page reflect a business built on responsibility, connection, and shared success.
Strong food systems are built through collaboration. We're committed to being a consistent, active part of that work.
