Kris Miceli
The Vermont GreenGrocer
Richmond, VT
Kris Miceli always had the drive to be her own boss. At the same time, she also valued the importance of making a difference through her work. However, one of the last things Kris ever expected was to pursue a career as a grocer. Luckily for the residents and visitors of Richmond, running her own grocery store was exactly what fate had in mind.

Before opening up her own shop, Kris was an experienced grocer, having managed the Shelburne Supermarket, among other local shops. After her son was born, Kris realized it was time to “take the plunge” and open her own place. Seeing an opportunity in Richmond, she realized that in starting her own grocery market, she could not only be her own boss, but also make a difference by helping to get more local/fresh foods into the schools, and by making more local and organic foods available. The Vermont GreenGrocer was born.

The Vermont GreenGrocer is a small fresh foods market focusing on the many great, local growers and producers. They emphasize fresh and local as much as possible, and when in season, available and affordable. They carry everything from produce, dairy and local grass fed meats, to specialty and ethnic cooking ingredients. Their largest customer base is young families. Located around the bend from the Round Church in Richmond on the way to Huntington, Kris’ shop is small, warm and welcoming. Community Capital is proud to be a partner in Kris’ endeavor (together with all the other community support Kris has received), and wish her well in the achievement of her goals!
