Company description
Sweet Beet Cafe is dedicated to keeping things fresh, flavorful, and local.
We take a lot of inspiration from global cuisine but keep it rooted in local ingredients, working closely with nearby farmers and producers. Everything at Sweet Beet Café is made with care and packed with local flavor! We turn local ingredients into something inspired and delicious, while supporting our farmers and food community.
We're a part of Kearsarge Food Hub, a nonprofit on a mission to reinvigorate our community within a restorative local food system through cultivating food sovereignty, growing engaged learners, and nurturing community.
As a nonprofit organization serving the greater Kearsarge Area in central NH, we envision a resilient and connected community where everyone is empowered to access healthy local food, where farmers are supported and the land is nourished, and all people share a common sense of place.
