“Fox Market makes my heart swell with joy. Best bar food I've had in my life at prices more fitting of something substantially less than. Pictured is a beautiful gay boy, my beautiful gay boy, who agrees with me. Every week I strategize new excuses to visit this beloved establishment.”
“My favorite store in Hardwick. Shelves are kept full. The focus is on healthy food and products. I don't enjoy their particular spiritual representation, however, I can say that all the folks are caring and quick to help.”
“So I moved to South Carolina. However, one of the things that I miss the most is stores like this. You can get a great grinder or an awesome pizza right from the corner store. That just doesn't happen in the South.”
“Great standard deli and beer/convenience store. Not pretentious or political like all the overpriced nonsense on Main St. Thanks for serving the locals, Gunnar Brook!”
“Small space but lots of variety. The staff was friendly and human which makes a big time decision for when I walk into such an small intimate space.Thank you for hosting us so well.”
“Best fruits and vegetables, so fresh and a great selection! They have the basics for everything and then some more. One stop shopping, quick lunch, snacks - salty and sweet, weekly grocery shopping. Wonderful bulk selection, frozen foods, fresh foods, packaged too. Large selection of local producers. My daughter loves the freshly baked salmon with chili sauce and sesame noodles and it is a weekly purchase. My husband's favorite is Red Hen's Seeded Baguette. I always pick up a Red Door Bakery Date Bar for a grocery shopping job well done!”
“If you can get over the fact that this place looks like it was abandoned during the dust bowl , you can see that’s it’s actually a pretty amazing little store. They have everything from snacks and deli items, fishing gear to hardware and some clothing items. The sandwiches are pretty good as well . A nice surprise find in a rural area.”
“Lovely owners, good price on gasoline, Indian food: yummy take-out curry chickpeas & rice, plus all the essentials you want in a small grocery including pet food and wine!”
“This Dollar General of all the 4 stores in Barre/Berlin is the best. This store is immaculate unlike the others which are safely a absolutely horrible mess (where is the District Manager?)”

“This Shaws in VT was cute and had everything (other than a working restrooms) that my party needed. It was a neat packed smallish version of the larger Shaws in other major NE cities.”

“The lobsters here are some of the best I’ve ever bought to cook - including on the Maine coast. They arrive daily and the price is also very good. My new go-to place to buy them”
“The Adamant Coop is a charming little all-in-one shop/bakery/post office for the tiny town's residents - located in a historic house, and sitting at the intersection of about 4 dirt roads in what seems like the middle of nowhere. So how did I come to discover this local gem? Apparently most outsiders that stop in are lost and looking for directions (according to their website) - but exploring this little village has been on my bucket list for ages - so I deliberately sought it out and all bc of a movie I saw many years ago LOL! And based on the responses from the staff when I asked about the movie, I'm probably one of the only ones that's ever visited for that reason haha! The film was What Lies Beneath with Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford. One of the actors describes the town as "that artsy little village down 7" (meaning highway 7 - one of Vermont's main arteries)...and at one point in the movie, she goes to Adamant and explores a little - it looked adorable and who doesn't love an artsy village in the fall right? So I had to come see it - and the actual place IRL is nothing like the movie portrayed of course (thanks Hollywood :P) - and it's not even anywhere near Highway 7 - but that's bc they didn't even film it here haha!! Nonetheless- it was well worth the stop and I'm so glad it worked out the way it did! They have all sorts of treats and goodies and local arts and crafts - and it's such a cozy little shop in a beautiful setting surrounded by lakes, streams, and fall colors! Residents in the community take turns baking homemade goodies for the Coop to sell so I scored some gigantic ginger cookies...and just after I arrived, another local resident brought in a fresh pumpkin spice cake and was slicing it up so of course I had to get a piece of that too! All of it was amazing! I also grabbed some other snack items made locally - some street corn dip that was fantastic - ate every last bit of that on my trip and thought about coming back for more lol. And also a unique treat I'd never seen before - chocolate covered sunflower seeds!! Oh they were just wonderful - absolutely loved those! They also have jars of various locally grown and pickled veggies and such, as well as fresh brewed coffee and all sorts of local art pieces, jewelry, and even t-shirts! The Coop also serves as the town's post office. There's even a small park across the street right next to the little rushing brook with seating. It really is such a cute place - there's some cozy seating by their little wood-burning stove and the staff were just lovely to chat to. There's also a funny little bit of history about the town's name - originally it was named Sodom - and the pond across the street is still called Sodom Pond - but apparently one of the first preachers in the town (and a few other residents) refused to get their mail delivered to a town named Sodom so they were "adamant" about changing the name haha! Such an interesting little side adventure- if you're in the area, it's very much worth a stop!”
