On December 17th, we hosted the annual Branchfood holiday bash celebrating another successful year of food, entrepreneurship, and community development in partnership with Clover Food Lab in Boston’s Financial District. We were thrilled to again welcome so many of our wonderful members, friends, and sponsors to the event.

Delicious food was provided by our generous host, Clover Food Lab, a leading plant-based fast-casual restaurant chain founded by Ayr Muir who has been pioneering the plant-based revolution in Boston for nearly a decade! Drinks were supplied by Keel Vodka, the world’s first premium light vodka, and some of the hottest local food startups shared samples of their great products. Big thank you to Boston Public Market for the great raffle prize!
