Uncommon Coffee has become the unofficial home for Essex Pride. Uncommon has hosted monthly Queer Coffee Meetups, Drag Story Hour, Queer Artist Markets, our annual TDOV Performance Showcase, and the Essex Pride Festival Afterparty, and has been a consistent safe space for our community. Essex Pride is thankful and grateful for the staff and ownership at Uncommon Coffee. This is what allyship looks like.
--------
It’s our mission to serve high quality products without pretension, taking pride in our work and treating others with respect and kindness. We value integrity, and put this into practice at every level of our business.
We make as much as we possibly can from scratch. From the bread your breakfast sandwich is on to the chocolate syrup in your mocha, to the coffee beans you love to brew (and much more). When you come in, you’ll have a truly unique experience because of this.
Located in the heart of Essex Town in the Essex Experience, Uncommon provides a large and comfortable space for all to share. Whether you're a group of people looking for a place to meet and relax, or an individual working from your computer, we have a home for you here. Come enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, or join us for a meal.
A staple cafe in our community, a creative and locally sourced menu for any time of day - juices and smoothies, baked goods, sandwiches and salads, soups and bone broth, order ahead or stay a while with friends.
The market stocks “farm to market” ingredients from greens and other produce to locally sourced dairy, eggs, meats, and more.
We want this to be your third place, your regular place, your go to place, your neighborhood corner store with a lotta extra love.

At Salt & Bubbles Wine Bar and Market we focus on ethically made wines (and some ciders + beer) by people who take care of the land and the people they work with. These producers (who really are farmers!) make wines full of life, they tell a story of a season or a place, and well, they taste great too!
We are here to provide high-quality products, education, and resources that help our customers achieve a better life, while also benefiting our community, state and the world. Our extensive cannabis knowledge allows us to educate in cultivation and processing, as well as patient care, making us a trusted source for all things cannabis.
The NRM team has grown to include three Board-Certified Reproductive Endocrinologists and Infertility (REI) Physicians and three fertility-specialized nurse practitioners with extensive experience in both infertility and family building.
Together with our skilled team of nurses, embryologists, ultrasonographers, and staff, we provide human-centered care and are excited to help you! Our team not only has cutting-edge technology and resources to maximize your success, but we also understand your journey and have a deep desire to minimize your stress along the way.
For more than 70 years, Vermont Federal has been dedicated to improving the communities that we serve with financial support, donations, sponsorships, volunteerism, and education. We always strive to make a positive impact in the lives of our members and in the communities that we serve.
At Unified Dog Treats, we bring people together. Our workplace is built on acceptance, inclusion, and the belief that everyone’s contributions matter. This unity—people working side by side toward a shared goal—is the true recipe behind both our success and our treats.
It’s these principles— farmer ownership, honest pay, and dignified work— that have seen Sunset Lake through seven successful harvests and allowed the company to grow.
Today, Sunset Lake ships craft CBD products directly to your door, practices sustainable farming techniques, and uses its brand to help empower workers all over because of support from people like you!
At GF, we innovate and partner with our customers to deliver solutions for humanity. We manufacture semiconductors around the globe.
We are changing the industry that is changing the world.
At Oak Maple, our fiduciary, heart-centered approach means letting go of “one plan fits most” advice. We know that there is only one you, with a distinct identity stemming from your unique blend of life experiences, desires and values. That’s why our financial planning process begins with making a personal connection. We get to know you—from the driving forces that get you out of bed in the morning, to the daily accomplishments that help you get a good night’s sleep.
We are empathic and highly skilled clinicians, engaging our clients with compassion and total acceptance. We recognize the abundance of challenges facing families today and we help children and their caregivers find calm, connection and confidence in their capacity to handle life’s struggles.
Our approach is more holistic and comprehensive than simple “behavior management” because it is informed by neuroscience research, which emphasizes the importance of relationships, the perception of safety and the growth of neural connections for resilience and regulation. We know that behavior tends to be adaptive and communicate an underlying need. By viewing each client through this lens, we are able to look through the behavioral manifestation of nervous system activation to address the root issue.
At the Champlain Center, we believe that you are the expert on your family and your life. We know that all parents are biologically driven toward nurturance and connection with their children. We are committed to helping parents connect with their own innate wisdom, while providing effective skills to cope with challenging behaviors and to promote healthy development. We are grateful for the enormous trust you are sharing with us. It is an honor to walk beside you on this journey of healing and growth.
Linda has had a passion for fitness for most of her life. In 2015, after retiring as an HVAC technician, she opened a fitness studio in her home. She explored the idea of working as a personal trainer for one of the local gyms, but after decades of “working for someone else,” she felt inspired to go out on her own.
Linda trains a diverse group of clients, from tweens to seniors.
“I love sharing my studio and passion for fitness with all ages. I see my home and business as a community space for Essex Junction.”
We have limited Essex Pride Sponsorships available at different tiers beginning at $200, which include a special feature on our website, shout outs on social media, an opportunity to table at the Friday night Kickoff Party and Comedy Show, a customized gift to be determined, tickets to the official after party, and our undying gratitude for helping to make this day happen. Full sponsorship packets, pricing, and incentive options are available if you email us at EssexVTPride@gmail.com.
As we've stated before, any money we accept will go towards our direct costs and towards providing future events and safe spaces for the Essex LGBTQIA+ community. A portion of funds raised will also be dispersed to other LGBTQIA+ organizations across Vermont.
This is not a corporate Pride event where anyone can buy their way into allyship. We encourage artists, organizations, and businesses who either are a part of our LGBTQIA+ community or who actively and openly support our community to consider being our sponsors for what we know will be an incredible day.
Sponsorships are not available for politicians or individual political campaigns, but we encourage groups who fight for LGBTQIA+ rights and actively combat and speak out against harmful and hateful bills attacking our community to submit a vendor form to table at the Festival at no cost.
