Cambridge Village Market Opened: 2023 under current ownership; 1850s previously Owner: Ron and Linda Frey Previous Tenants: none Cooperative: Associated Grocers Northeast Location: 113 S Main St, Cambridge, VT Photographed: August 9, 2025 It's time to visit another small store similar to Steeple Market , which I posted Friday.
