I live in Burlington (#2 on the list).

Yes, we spend a lot on food but most of it is really high quality and from within 100 miles. The most convenient grocery in Burlington is City Market Co-op, which has the largest sales volume of any single-store food co-op in the country. That's probably skewing the data.

Park Slope Food Co-op in Brooklyn claims the largest sales volume for a food co-op at over $50 million per year. It's impressive that Burlington's is in that same range, given the relative sizes of the populations served. The US needs a lot more of these.
