The name “Haberdasher” is an American/British term for a retailer in men’s clothing, paying homage to the building’s long rich history.

Haberdasher’s selections are focused on all the things we’re most obsessed with from the local area (Hudson Valley, Berkshires & Vermont). We love to sus out the best makers and celebrate them. We have a wide assortment of wines (natural & conventional), craft beers that are a little harder to find, a cheese counter featuring all that Vermont has to offer, and hard-to-find grocery items. Occationally, we’ll have some antique barware lurking around. We only offer what we love, so stop by and take a peak.

A community grocery store, bakery, and deli featuring interesting and unique Vermont-made products. Check out Bennington Community Market Facebook page for their Local Saturday Markets schedule, where you can find local food, crafts, and more.
