This August, during a week of perfect summer weather at Centre Hall’s 145th Grange Fair, Taproot Kitchen participated in another successful fundraiser to help raise funds to complete their own kitchen at 318 S. Atherton Street.

For the 7th year, the Centre Region community enjoyed local food and wine at Plow to Plate at the Mount Nittany Vineyard and Winery. Co-hosted by Taproot Kitchen, CBCC (Cooking and Baking Centre County), and the MN Winery, interested guests began the evening with a tour of the vineyard.
