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!

Above it, the water is orange and peach, as if reflecting a sunset. On the other side of the lake, low rolling blue mountains define the skyline. A yellow sunset glows behind them.

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.

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!

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.
