Annual Events

The COTS Tree Sale
The annual tree sale to benefit the Committee on Temporary Shelter has been held at the Co-op for the past 13 years, bringing the total donation to over $60,000.  City Market staff, Co-op members and community volunteers assist customers with trees throughout the sale while supplies last!

According to COTS:

• $20 covers food and a night of emergency shelter for an adult at the Waystation.
• The Daystation, a daytime emergency shelter, is seeing an average of 55 people per day.
• $50 pays for two new backpacks and school supplies for two children in their family shelters.
• In the past year, 111 families stayed at the Main Street, Firehouse, or Champlain family shelters, including 156 parents and 114 children.

Mow Down Pollution -- Lawn Mower Exchange
It has become an annual tradition at City Market to encourage local residents to help Mow Down Pollution by exchanging a gas-guzzling, air-polluting lawn mower for a battery-powered mower. Through our partnership with Vermont-based Neuton Mowers, we encourage community members to bring in their gas-powered mowers and receive a discount of over $100 off the retail price on a new Neuton electric mower.

Harvest Celebration! Good People. Good Food. Good Fun.
The Annual Harvest Celebration gathers together as many of our Vermont vendors and producers as we can fit under our big tent. We open the doors wide to the community to celebrate not only the abundance of local food but also the people. Over the years, City Market’s Harvest Celebration has grown to include the regional producers whom you see at local farmers’ markets, as well as up and coming vendors just breaking into the marketplace.

If you have questions about the Harvest Celebration, please contact City Market’s Outreach & Local Food Manager, Meg Klepack, at mklepack@citymarket.coop or call 802-861-9753.
