For a small…read morespace, they have a little of everything, fresh, organic and local produce, packaged goods, vegan, dairy, beer&wine, bakery, herbal remedies, meats and deli. + Ambiance - small foot print - smaller than Sprouts or TJs but packed with goodies. It's clean, well organized and natural. ++ Goods - a little of everything including organic, local and packaged products. They buy from local farmers and producers. If you are a foodie and are from outside of VT, this is where you are most likely to find your labels or substitutes. ++ Service - very helpful and friendly. Most are informed much more so than at a regular grocer. They'll special order too. - Price - Annual membership is $20 and depends how much you shop, you may/may not get an annual check/dividend. Their prices are generally higher than already very high VT food prices. + Parking - private lot shared with the bagel / bakery. For a small town, it's great to have this Co-Op!

I don't know if a supermarket necessarily needs a review, but this supermarket is a staple of the…read moreMiddlebury College community. I feel really at home coming here for some reason. It might be that small town New England feel to it, where everyone in town knows each other, as indicated by the cashiers always so friendly and striking up meaningful small talk with all their customers. Catch us Middlebury College students here often for buying food for when the school doesn't feed us (Thanksgiving 2015 was my first one without family but still only my second most miserable Thanksgiving...) or when their overpriced student stores don't stock what we need (especially fruit). Thank goodness this place is around, it is definitely a supermarket. I always get worried when these small towns try to support local businesses as much as possible, but thankfully this supermarket chain is around. (Local businesses are definitely a good thing though! I know I sound awful, forgive me!) It seems that Middlebury town has what I need for the most part. I have so many memories already with this market. It's closer than Hannaford's, so best bet I'm never going there by foot when I can come here.

I walked into Hannaford expecting a quick, normal trip--grab a drink, pay, and leave. Nothing…read morecomplicated. But somehow, that simple plan turned into one of the most unnecessarily frustrating shopping experiences I've had in a while. It wasn't the store layout, or the lines, or even the prices overall--it was the self-checkout situation that managed to mess up something as small as 88 cents and still leave a bad impression. So there I was at the self-checkout, scanning my items like usual. Everything seemed fine at first. The machine did its little beeps, the total popped up, and I paid without thinking much of it. But afterward, I noticed the total didn't match what I expected. At first I thought maybe I misread a price or grabbed the wrong item--but nope. After actually checking the receipt, there it was: an extra 88 cents that didn't make any sense. Now, 88 cents isn't life-changing money, obviously. But that's not really the point. It's the fact that the system--this supposedly efficient, modern, "convenient" self-checkout robot--managed to get something so basic wrong. And there's no easy way to question it in the moment unless you want to call someone over and hold up the whole line. So you either let it go or deal with the awkward process of proving a machine messed up. What makes it worse is how avoidable it feels. That 88 cents could've gone toward something else--like literally another drink. That's the annoying part. It's not just "oh well, small mistake." It's the fact that I walked out knowing I paid for something I didn't actually get, and that small difference could've added up to something tangible, even if it's just a second bottle or can. And honestly, these self-checkout systems are supposed to make things smoother, but moments like this do the opposite. Instead of speeding things up, they shift all the responsibility onto the customer while still being prone to errors. If a cashier made that mistake, at least there's a clear person to talk to. When it's a machine, it just feels like you're arguing with a wall. It also makes you wonder how often this kind of thing happens. If I noticed 88 cents, how many people don't notice? Those tiny amounts can add up over time, and it starts to feel less like a one-time glitch and more like a system that isn't as reliable as it should be. Even if it's unintentional, it's still frustrating from a customer perspective. In the end, it's not about the money--it's about the experience. A quick stop turned into irritation over something that shouldn't have happened in the first place. And yeah, it sticks with you more than it should, because it's such an easy thing to get right. All I wanted was my drink, and instead I left thinking about how I could've had another one if the system had just worked properly. Ps im never shopping here again( I mean I will but you get the point)

We had a great conversation and he stated that they will look into correcting the misspelling. It warms my heart to have my culture's food be shared within this community and it's wonderful to see an owner really take pride in what they offer. Great customer service and inventory.

It is like they never recovered. The shelves are often empty, especially of sale items. Not just sometimes, almost every day.

It has become so frustrating to shop and not find close to half of the items we're looking for forcing us to shop at another store. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pharmacy staff is exceptional and is the reason we still buy all of our prescriptions at this store.

Then there's the incredible rotisserie chicken which is unbelievably tender and keeps incredibly well - easily the best supermarket-bought rotisserie chicken I've ever had. Their aisles are clean and prices competitive, and it was easy to find what we needed because aisles were clearly marked. Even at different times of day there was no excessive wait at checkouts either, and we'd be happy to shop here again in the future!
