Bennington Community Market

All Under One Roof in Bennington, VT

Featuring items from Small Local Businesses • Breakfast & Lunch by Local Cooks • Bakery • Local Meats & Cheese • Groceries • Wine & Artisan Products • Farmers Market • Community Events & more! Bennington Community Market is a community-supported grocery store that supports local farmers and makes healthy food accessible to everyone in our community. The mission of the Bennington Community Market is to support local farmers, increase access to healthy food for all members of our community, and contribute to the revitalization of downtown Bennington. The market will be a year-round hub to enjoy seasonal cooking and eating, as well as to provide grocery staples and take-home meal options from our kitchen. In partnership with area organizations that work with food-insecure populations, our Healthy Food Access Fund will provide discounts to our neighbors in need. We are thrilled to share that the Market, along with other partners in the Bennington Fair Food Initiative, was recently nominated for a federal earmark by Representative Peter Welch to support our regional food system efforts. The vision of the Bennington Community Market is to promote sustainable local agriculture, contribute to the revitalization of downtown Bennington, and increase access to healthy food for all members of our community. In partnership with local farmers and food producers, the Market will sell fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, grains, dairy products, beverages, and more from around the region. The Market will also offer prepared foods—including a bakery and coffee station—available to take home or for in-store dining. Bennington Community Market has chosen a nonprofit model as this allows us to put our mission first—supporting local farmers and making healthy food accessible to everyone in our community. The Market's board of directors is committed to being representative of the community it serves; the bylaws state that the board must include at least one farmer and one member of the Bennington Hunger Council.
