Benefits and Programs
Member Discount Days
Save the date for our semi-annual Member Discount Days! During Member Discount Days, City Market Members are invited to take 20% off their first shop of $50 or more. That’s 20% off your new produce obsession, 20% off that fancy Vermont-made candle you’ve been eyeing, 20% off the snack your kids can’t get enough of, and 20% off that local cheese that makes your day feel extra indulgent.
Please note: this discount does not stack with other discounts like Member Worker, Senior, or Food for All discounts, and doesn't apply to alcohol, stamps, newspapers, gift cards, gift baskets or Member equity. For more information on discounts at City Market, click here. To participate, make sure we have your correct contact information and that your Membership is active! You can update your information and renew your Membership at our Customer Service desk or online. We can’t wait to see you in the aisles!
Our Next Member Discount Days are Tuesday, May 20 through Thursday, May 22!
Member Work Discount
Did you know you can support a local organization and earn discounts on your groceries? City Market Members who volunteer with participating Community Outreach Partners receive a 12% month-long discount for four hours of volunteering or a 7% month-long discount for two hours of volunteering.
Discounts begin the first of the following month after you volunteer and are not available on alcohol, newspapers, or stamps.
Discounts with our Members Go Local Partners
City Market Members know that supporting local businesses drives a healthy local economy. We’ve partnered with amazing local businesses to provide Co-op Members with discounts every day! Show your City Market Membership card at our 24 partner businesses and you will receive discounts or other perks. Plus, our Members Go Local Partners sponsor fun monthly raffles for our Members. It’s a great way to find new local favorites and build a thriving community together!
Become a Featured Member Artist
Are you an artist and a City Market Member? You could be featured on one of our Member Artist Walls! We feature art from a Member Artist for two-month periods at both stores. We love to highlight the diverse skills of our Members and to connect our Member Artists with potential buyers and opportunities in our community!
Reverse Osmosis Water
Members can fill up on Reverse Osmosis Water for free! Reverse Osmosis Water is available at both stores and is produced by demineralizing water by pushing it under pressure through a semi-permeable Reverse Osmosis Membrane. This process improves taste and odor of water by removing contaminants and it also removes impurities that include limescale, chlorine, silt, and much more.
Reduced-Price Classes
Members can access community cooking classes like wine and cheese pairing, camp stove cooking, and more for just $10—that’s a savings of $15 per class! That means if you take just one cooking class per year, your Membership pays for itself!
Participate in Co-op Governance
Our Members build the future of our Co-op! Members can vote in our annual elections to determine the makeup of our Board of Directors. Those Members seeking to have a greater impact can run for the Board of Directors and help shape the direction of the Co-op’s future.
Automatic Entry into Member Raffles
Each month, all current City Market Members are automatically entered into a monthly raffle to win prizes! We feature lots of local products from our store and gift cards from our local partners. Members: check your email to see if you are this month’s winner!
Profit Sharing
During profitable years, Co-op Members receive patronage checks based on spending their spending as a form of profit sharing. As a result of our 2017 expansion to our South End Store, we do not anticipate being profitable in the immediate future. When we return to profitability, we will recommend to our Board that we reconsider issuing Patronage Refund Checks to our Members.
