Client Testimonials:

“Our relationship with Farrell’s just keeps getting better–every year, their selection of beers and ciders grows with great brands. Their staff is consistently on top of their craft, knowledgeable, friendly and fast when it comes to tracking down the right flavors from their catalog. When planning a menu or a party I know all I have to do is pick up the phone and they’ll be there!”

-Shawn Fuschetto, Sugarbush Resort

“Jeff Baker, the Curator of the Curriculum at Farrell Distributing is simply amazing at what he does. His vast wealth of knowledge in anything craft beverage related is impressive to say the least. Any restaurant or bar that could tap into his “library” for a training would not be disappointed.”

-Daniel Phelan, GM , Windjammer & Upper Deck Pub

“Here at RunVermont we understand what it takes to produce a great event, and when it comes to the Vermont City Marathon, it’s an effort of thousands of people. It takes runners, volunteers, all of our neighbors along the course and great partners like Farrell Distributing, all coming together on Memorial Day Weekend to produce lifetime memories. Every year their entire team steps up to go the extra mile for our event and they always deliver. They are an integral part of the fabric of this event as their support makes the difference between great and extraordinary. They’re with us every step of the way and always want to know “how can we help?” Dave, Ryan, Nichole and the entire team at Farrell’s make a difference every day here in Vermont, they know the secret to living is giving.”
