Brattleboro Food Co-op Opened: 2012 in current location; 1975 previously Owner: cooperatively owned Previous Tenants: none Cooperative: National Co-op Grocers Location: 2 Main St, Brattleboro, VT Photographed: August 10, 2021 The Market Report has arrived in Vermont for the first time, and what better place to do it than the Brattleboro Food Co-op! After all, it's close to familiar territory: just across the river from New Hampshire and eight miles north of the MA border. Plus, Vermont is the land of food co-ops, so this is a fitting introduction. This food co-op dates back to 1975, but like many of these New England co-ops, recently moved into a modern supermarket building.

For the first time ever, The Market Report arrives in the Green Mountain State! And unlike Maine and New Hampshire , I actually have a lot of coverage over a lot of the state. While I can't claim to have photographed every supermarket in Vermont (or even close to it), we have enough posts that our coverage of Vermont will actually take almost four months. The Market Report's first stop is in the southeastern part of the state, around the Brattleboro area. From there, we'll turn north via Putney to make our way up to Bellows Falls and White River Junction, all along the New Hampshire border. We'll circle inland via Chester, Londonderry, and a few other towns in the middle of the state before turning south again to wind up in Wilmington about halfway across the state (east-west, that is) near the MA border. Come back tomorrow to start in Brattleboro!
