Become a Vendor

We define local as anything grown or value-added in the state of Vermont or within 100 miles of our Co-op. Value-added refers to the enhancement of a product by a company before the product is offered to customers.

The Co-op emphasizes natural foods and products that support the health of our customers and community. We also consider environmental impact, distribution, fair pricing and social responsibility. In our buying decisions we give preference to products that are:

• Grown and produced by local or regional vendors 
• Grown and produced organically 
• Produced without genetically modified organisms or hormones
• Certified fair trade and/or produced by cooperatives
• Packaged with minimal, recyclable packaging
• Humanely raised in the case of meat, eggs, and dairy products
