                      Wednesday, November 1, 2023

  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Hermit Woods 
Winery and Eatery, a New Hampshire small business that was recently 
nominated to the 2023 America's Top Small Business Summit. For 13 years 
Hermit Woods Winery and Eatery has embodied our state's values of 
determination and innovation, heightened consumer experiences with 
high-quality, locally-sourced products. This recent recognition by the 
U.S. Chamber of Commerce is a testament to Hermit Woods Winery and 
Eatery's impact on our local economy and involvement in the community. 
The next generation of New Hampshire business leaders will look to 
Hermit Woods for inspiration.
  Hermit Woods is an industry leader and a trusted community partner. 
Its model of brewing with the fruits, flowers, and vegetables grown by 
local farmers and foragers showcases its culinary creativity and 
commitment to fostering community connections. Each bottle at the 
Winery is brewed with the spirit of community that defines the work at 
Hermit Woods. The Granite State is thankful for these small businesses 
that provide quality products, build relationships between neighbors, 
and strengthen the economy.
  I look forward to seeing all that Hermit Woods accomplishes in the 
years to come, and I am confident that it will continue to serve as a 
guide for other business leaders in the state. On behalf of the 
constituents of New Hampshire's First Congressional District, I applaud 
Hermit Woods for its commitment to the values of business innovation 
and community compassion. I wish Hermit Woods continued success in its 
future endeavors.
