Quality Market — Local services in Barre City

Easily the go-to grocery for the surrounding food desert neighborhoods. It's this or 2 miles to the nearest proper supermarket. Good deli, pantry veggies, and a decent selection of dry products and household supplies. Produce is lacking, though you can get supplies for a decent salad. The meat quality is standard to low, but the cuts of beef, pork and poultry are diverse and super reasonably priced (cheaper than bigger supermarkets in many cases). The meat business there seems brisk, so freshness is consistently on par, and it's obvious they take a certain pride in that aspect of the store. Ultimately, Quality Market is a staple and borderline godsend for all of the cooking households...

Have always loved this store until today. Walked in behind what WOULD HAVE BEEN another customer. He was told he must wear a mask. He said he was vaccinated. Employee said masks are required regardless. NO EMPLOYEES ARE MASKED. When questioned about this they say it is because they are vaccinated. Well, so are we. If they do not have to show us proof they should have to wear masks as well. What is good for the goose should be good for the gander as well. Sick of double standards. Move on or lose costumers, people. We both left. Spent my money elsewhere today. Will not be...

For a small market, it had a wide selection of fresh items. I came in for fresh bread. I was not disappointed. I bought several loaves, and they tasted wonderful. I almost bought some fresh pies as well, but sadly, I did not.

I highly recommend you shop here as offen as possible. These markets are disappearing and are a valued part of a community!

They may not have a huge selection, but they have quality items and a caring attitude.

As always, I you enjoyed this review, please smash the "Like"...
