A robust farmers' market. I'm not sure about the grocery shopping, but it's a great place to have breakfast or lunch and enjoy the fresh air.

Just outside of the main downtown strip, this farm is full of fun activities, hikes, and nature trails, including the start of the Retreat Tower Trailhead. It even has a bar with regional producers.

My personal favorite cafe in Brattleboro, Mocha Joe’s has the most unique and robust drink menu. They have their own organic farmer’s cooperative in West Africa to create fair-trade, organic, and sustainable fine coffee served in their shop.

Amy’s Bakery + Cafe

Great place to grab breakfast or lunch.

Brattleboro Food Co-Op

Vermont Country Deli

Stop here for incredible food, baked goods, and their country store. This place is popular so if you go on the weekend, be ready to stand in line and wait for parking. Is it worth it? I think so!

Vegan A.F.

A short walk up Canal Street from downtown, you’ll find Vegan A.F., a great place for delicious, vegan diner food. Be sure to try their award-winning chili!
