For the Burlington area, City Market remains a great place to shop, with some mainstream options as…read morewell as significant natural/organic/artisan options. That being said, this is the original and smaller of their two stores in Burlington. I needed two varieties dried chili peppers, common to find in New York City, and had checked out a variety of other stores, finding Pasilla at the larger City Market Flynn Avenue shop. They didn't have the missing one I needed, Costeno, they did have something that worked as a substitute. They seem to have many more dried mushroom items than dried chili peppers. My main issue with this location is the amount of parking. It's tight.

When we were in town we had a Suite with a fully stocked kitchen so we found this grocery store…read morenear the downtown strip. It was similar to a Sprouts or Erewon. I was able to get everything I needed and more. They had a great wine selection which was perfect since I wanted to put a gift basket together for Joe's brothers whom we were visiting next for the final part of our trip. I was warned that it was expensive but I didn't really think it was that bad and was curious about it being a co-op store. I was able to get everything to make an Italian pasta dinner with Marinara. It was so nice to be able to have a homemade dinner in our suite. That's the thing about traveling is you get so weary of eating out every meal. This place was a great little grocery store just off the main strip of the Burlington downtown.

A friend and I shared a Large share at ICF (which is separate from the Intervale Food Hub by the…read moreway) this past summer. Their COVID protocols were excellent (handwash and hand sanitizer stations, assigned staggered pick up times, everyone required to socially distance and wear masks, etc). The all-organic produce was awesome! There was definitely plenty of it (I often shared some with my roommates) and a good variety over the season. I loved getting watermelon, cantaloupe, tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, beans, carrots, onions, potatoes, beets, kale, chard, cabbage, consistent salad greens over the whole season, strawberries and corn in season, pumpkins, herbs, scallions, etc. I also enjoyed the pick your own component (for herbs, scallions, string beans, strawberries, cherry tomatoes, cut flowers, etc). It was so lovely to get to put my hands on the plants and in the dirt and directly see things growing. Normally there's such a divide between "front-" and "back-of-house". I loved that this divide was broken down somewhat. I was also frankly amazed at the quantity of food they produced--how many people were being fed from this one farm. I availed myself of the organic VT eggs each week, which were great. It was so convenient to get so much of my food from the farm pick up, especially during COVID. I went to the store so much less, and I felt good about more of my money going to farmers. We wanted to do their Winter Share but couldn't b/c they only have 1/3 as many shares as the summer so instead we're splitting an Intervale Food Hub share, which is nice and has variety in a different way (for example it has apples and mushrooms, and you can add tortillas). One difference I appreciate about ICF is that the eggs and all of the produce there are organic, whereas the food hub doesn't have quite as much organic selection.

Merchandising is equally Chinese, Korean, Japanese with a smaller selection of Southeast Asian staples. Every nook and cranny in this old house has fun items to explore and liven up dinner.

They offer an oyster hour from 4-5 p.m. with half-priced oysters and cheeseboards, making it a great time to visit. As a farm-to-table restaurant, everything tasted incredibly fresh. I tried several dishes, but the standouts were the oysters and the halibut. The oysters were served with freshly shaved horseradish and a delicious mango habanero oil that added the perfect kick. The halibut was beautifully seared, flaky, and fresh. I'd highly recommend making a reservation. I visited on a Monday night, and the restaurant was completely full. I'll definitely be back.
