About Sweet Clover Market

Many people have told me over the years that we must have opened Sweet Clover Market because we love to cook. But the truth is, we opened Sweet Clover Market because we love to EAT!! And, really, we love to eat so much that we care A LOT about what it is we put in our mouths. What are the ingredients of each product? How fresh is it? Who grew it? Whose recipe is it? Where was it caught? Where was it grown? Honestly, we have a million questions and really like knowing the answers. When you are putting as much food as we are into your body, you want to make sure not only that it tastes good, but that it treats your body right, too.

Back in 2005, in Westford, VT, a family looking for organic eggs had to go all the way into Burlington to get some, or grow their own. It isn't like that anymore, thanks goodness, but back then we decided to take matters into our own hands. A few feasibility studies later, we knew we had lots of neighbors like us who were eager to find good food in our neighborhood: minimally processed, fresh, small batch food that our bodies thrived on, sold by knowledgeable and friendly staff. Don't get us wrong: we think supermarkets play an important role in the industry. But having choices and information is important, too, and we believed there weren't enough in our neck of the woods.

About the same time we started to build the idea of Sweet Clover Market, the localvore trend started to gain traction. We had our own "a-ha" moment when we realized the easiest way for Sweet Clover Market to source fresh, clean food would be from local farms and small family farms from "away" who could make sure we knew the ingredients, the processing method, the source; in short who could tell us their STORY and have a RELATIONSHIP with us beyond the invoice. We couldn't rely solely on labels: we needed to be able to call and get answers to all of our questions. We were very fortunate to build Sweet Clover Market "from scratch" on the Buy Local ethos, instead of retrofitting our operation to accomodate the unique methods of sourcing, purchasing, displaying and selling local foods. We simply don't know any other way!

At Sweet Clover Market you will find the following kinds of foods: produce, deli, meat, dairy, supplements, personal care products, beer and wine.
