Little City Greens

Little City Greens sits in the stone-walled, exposed-beam basement of 7 Green Street in downtown Vergennes — a historic space that until recently housed Daily Chocolate, a beloved candy shop. Building owner Mark Koenig was not only receptive to the cannabis retail concept but actively supportive of the Kennedys opening in his historic building, and the space carries the character of its setting: rough-hewn walls, wooden beams, and a warmth that makes it feel rooted in the community it serves.

Alyson and Mike Kennedy own and run the shop as a husband-and-wife team, though Little City Greens identifies as woman-owned. The business philosophy is community-first: all local residents receive a 15% discount, and the shop rotates cannabis-forward art by local female artists on the walls — a combination that makes the basement feel more like a neighborhood gathering point than a retail transaction. The selection spans flower, pre-rolls, edibles, concentrates, drinkables, and tinctures, curated for quality over volume.

Vergennes itself sets the stage: Vermont's smallest city by population (~2,553 residents), first chartered in 1788, sitting along Otter Creek about 2 miles east of Lake Champlain. The shop is in the downtown core, steps from the Vergennes Opera House and a short drive from the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. For travelers entering Vermont via the Crown Point Bridge (the Chimney Point crossing on VT-17), Vergennes is the first dispensary stop — approximately 7–8 miles east of the Lake Champlain crossing via Route 17.
