BURLINGTON, Vt. -

Cabot Creamery has grown into an international success story by focusing on its local roots. Cabot's 1,200 farm-family owners support and promote volunteerism in the communities they work and live in, and the co-op has launched a program to recognize others who share that passion-- the Cabot Community Celebrity Award.

Roberta MacDonald is the senior vice president of marketing for Cabot. Dr. Paula Fives-Taylor is a Cabot Community Celebrity Award winner. They both appeared on The :30 to talk about the award. Watch the video for more.
