For every bottle of wine we sell in December, we will donate 1$ to a local nonprofit . When you purchase bottles of wine, you select where our dollars go. Can't decide, buy more wine!

Friends of Granby Wildflower Meadow
A “pollinator pathway,” is a one-mile-long, 12-foot wide corridor of pollinator-friendly native gardens to sustain pollinators. There are way stations running from Maryland to Vermont, from Oregon to Ontario. Roadsides, bike paths, private yards, public parks, churches, and business properties have been transformed from grass lawns into native wildflower gardens, each creating a link along the pollinators’ migratory chain.
In Granby, a project is underway to transform a town-owned fallow field into a major link along the pollinator pathway chain. Now named the Granby Wildflower Meadow, the 5-acre parcel, is located along RT10/202 just south of the town center.
Over the past 30 years, the world’s pollinators – birds, bats, bees, butterflies, beetles, and small mammals – have been declining at a disturbing rate. Considering that our food crops rely on pollination, human existence is tied to that of the pollinators, making their decline as important to us as it is to them. The Pollinator Pathway is an important step sustain pollinators.

Yappy Tails Animal Rescue
Yappy Tails aims to match as many dogs with great homes as possible. Whether you are looking to adopt a dog in Connecticut, or want to help out by fostering or volunteering, Yappy Tails is here for you!
Founded in 2018, we are committed to rescuing, caring for, and adopting homeless dogs into loving and responsible homes. With the help of our southern rescue partners, we transport our dogs to Connecticut where we place them into temporary foster homes. Our dogs are then socialized, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and treated for any medical or behavioral conditions limiting their adoptability.
Our goal is to create a world where all companion animals have loving and permanent homes. We seek to prevent all loving animals, regardless of age, from being killed in shelters because they are considered to be surplus or unadoptable. Check out our available dogs and help us give another rescue a great home!
