Maple Monday!Welcome to Maple Monday. It's back to cozy weather — and we have just the recipe for it. The warm stretch has stepped aside, the chill is back, and honestly? We're not complaining. Chilly days were made for slow cookers — and this week's recipe is proof. Slow Cooker Maple Pulled Pork Subtle maple sweetness, a warm kick of chili powder, and just enough tang from apple cider vinegar — this one's a keeper. Set it, forget it, and come back to something that smells like Vermont comfort in a pot. Serve it with: creamy coleslaw, warm cornbread, and deviled eggs. Don't forget — the maple is what makes it. Use the real stuff. Stock up at Plew Farm Our online shop is open around the clock — syrup, candy, almonds, sugar, and cream, all from our farm to your table. You shop, we ship. A little taste of Vermont, whenever you're ready for it.

Mother's Day is coming, and let's be honest... if we leave it up to them, you might end up with a last-minute card and a gas station bouquet. 😅 So consider this your sign to lovingly outsource the task—send your people in to see me, and I'll make sure they walk out with something you'll actually be excited to open.
Also, a quick heads up—my due date has been moved up (surprise!), so our hours may shift a bit between 4/20–4/26. We'll be posting real-time updates on Facebook and Instagram stories, so give those a peek before heading over. If you don't see anything besides our usual posts, then we're open our regular hours: Wed-Sat 11am-6pm & Sundays 11am-7pm.
Thank you, as always, for being the kind of community that makes this little shop so special. 💛 |

Community Pharmacy Adds Free Local Delivery and Consultation Room
Rutland, VT – To make life a little easier, we are offering a free delivery service if you live within 10 miles of Community Pharmacy in Rutland. We've also added a private counseling room for when you need to ask one of our pharmacists questions about your medications.
Free Delivery Service
If you live within 10 miles of Community Pharmacy's Woodstock Ave location in Rutland, you can receive one free delivery each month. We understand how important it is to stay on top of your medications, so we'd like to offer a little help when it comes to picking up that refill or new prescription, especially when you aren't able to.
Delivery times are:
Monday & Tuesday: 9am-12pm & 4-6pm
Wednesday: 9am-12pm
Thursday & Friday: 9am-12pm & 4-6pm
Saturday & Sunday: No deliveries
If you need more than one delivery per month, just ask about our additional delivery options and costs. Give us a call at 802-775-4321 for more information about getting on a delivery schedule.
New Pharmacy Consultation Room
Community Pharmacy in Rutland now has a private space for you to ask a pharmacist how to properly take a medication or ask for information on the purpose of a medication, its interaction with other medications, side effects and precautions you need to be aware of.
"The counseling area provides a space for patients to have a one-on-one with a pharmacist to review their medications and discuss any questions they may have," said Community Health Pharmacist Ryan Waltzer, PharmD. "A consultation room increases privacy, personalizes care and improves medication management and healthcare outcomes."
Community Pharmacy - Rutland, located on Woodstock Ave. (in the former Beauchamp & O'Rourke Pharmacy), is a full-service pharmacy offering prescription fulfillment, medication counseling and assistance with medication affordability through Community Health's Sliding Fee Discount Program.
"Pharmacists are the most accessible healthcare providers in the community, and patients aren't always familiar with the full range of expertise and customer service a pharmacist can offer," Waltzer said. "The counseling room provides an opportunity to ask your pharmacist sensitive questions about medical conditions, medication options, and costs in a comfortable setting."
Community Health patients will benefit from the coordinated care between their Community Health provider and Community Pharmacy, making it easier to manage medications and address overall health and wellness by taking advantage of our full-service, conveniently located pharmacy.
Visit our new consultation room at Community Pharmacy at 62 Woodstock Ave. in Rutland, or call 802-775-4321. For more information about Community Health and its growing network of services, visit chcrr.org.
