Health Markets in Manchester Center, VT

“This store is a model of community wealth and support. John, the owner, takes great care and concern with every customer and is unstinting in sharing his great product knowledge at great lengths with any customer who asks. One gets the feeling that he has studied and tested every product before allowing it to find its way into his valued customers’ baskets. He runs a well ordered, clean and inviting shop with generosity of spirit. He has built a shop over years which embodies the very best of small town values with a genuine and personal touch. If shopkeepers could be nominated, he ought to be the Manchester Person of the Year! I love walking in!”

“I just want to state that this was one of my favorite places during my trip through Vermont/New Hampshire. Of the four days I was in Vermont, I came to this place three times. It's a natural foods store that sells dry goods, some bulk items, fresh and frozen foods, and natural body care products. In the back of the shop is their juice bar, wrap station, and baked goods section. I had a wrap and a juice every day. My favorite juice was Juice at the Root: beet red apple, carrot, lemon, and ginger. I also had the Refreshmint: red apple, lime, mint, cucumber. I tried two of their six wraps, the Temptress: Tempeh, roasted red pepper, caramelized onion, spinach, carrots, vegan mayo, and the Cheesy Vegan: Tempeh, tomato, spinach, caramelized onion, vegan cheese, chipotle sauce. The wraps were ridiculously delicious. They're very generous with the tempeh in the wraps so it's just big mouthfuls of deliciousness. I also got three baked goods, two oat jammy squares and a pumpkin cinnamon swirl muffin, all gluten-free and very moist and flavorful. When I go back to Vermont next year I will make sure to stop by again for wraps and juices.”
