Green Mountain Ramen

The crew made port at Marigold Brattleboro, a legendary outpost known throughout the Downtown Brattleboro system for its glorious vegetarian provisions. After many cycles spent tending the ramen engines, we gathered around the table to enjoy a feast worthy of seasoned spacefarers.

The atmosphere aboard this establishment is second to none. One of the coolest dining halls in the entire Brattleboro quadrant. The acoustics are exceptional, carrying conversation and laughter across the room like a gentle cosmic breeze.

Moments like these remind this captain why I love this town. Good food. Good people. Good vibes. A place where travelers, dreamers, artists, and space pirates alike can gather around a shared table.

To the crew, to the community, and to the little corner of the universe we call home, cheers.

Using this rare lull between crafting bowls of ramen and charting a course through the cosmos, the Captain has docked at one of the finest treasures these lands have to offer, Brisket Mac & Cheese from Top of the Hill Grill.

Even a ramen pirate must occasionally step away from the galley to study the culinary wonders of distant ports. Today’s mission: replenish the crew, savor the bounty, and gather inspiration for future adventures.

Until the next bowl is served, may your stomach be full and your horizons wide.

Captain’s Log: June 8, 2026
Earth Time: 7:77 AM

Shutting down our operation at Heart Rose was a difficult decision, but it was a necessary one.

For the first time in a while, we’ve had a chance to visit family, rest, and reflect.
In this quiet space, we’re turning our attention inward and asking an important question: What do we truly want to bring forth into the world?

At Green Mountain Ramen, we believed that food is medicine.
Ingredients matter. Farmers matter. The energy and intention behind a meal matter.

As we look toward the next chapter, we're exploring how we can continue making nourishing food accessible to those seeking it, while building a system that is sustainable, resilient, and aligned with our values.

To everyone who has supported us, shared a bowl with us, volunteered, donated, attended karaoke, listened to live music, or simply believed in what we're trying to build.

Thank you.

Your support has carried us farther than you know.

This is not the end of a chapter so much as the beginning of a new one.

We have some exciting updates on the horizon, and we look forward to sharing them with you soon.

Until then, we'll keep listening, learning, and preparing for what comes next.

Food is Medicine.
Community is Medicine.
See you soon, crew. 🍜🏴‍☠️

Brattleboro First Friday & Gallery Walk space highlight!
💫 Arch Street LoFI Lounge

Arch street, a small throughway across from the Latchis Theater, is virtually an outdoor gallery space featuring astonishing graffiti installations from regional artists. Last October, Juniper Creative Arts, in partnership with BMAC, Stone Arch Properties, and DBA, brought these artists together for SuckaPunch, a weekend of camaraderie and creativity, and together they transformed Arch street. Now, every First Friday Arch Street becomes the LoFi Lounge- it’s a vibey space to hang, stroll and take in the installations, grab a bite. This month at LoFI Lounge:

💜 Juniper Creative Arts will be onsite live painting and hosting kids’ art activities.
🍜 Green Mountain Ramen offers pay-what-you-can Ramen. Handmade noodles, sumptuous broth, food that nourishes.
💎 DJ Prismatic serving selections your nervous system will love and that sets the tone perfectly
💫 A variety of seating for you take a load off and r-e-l-a-x

We’ll see you at LoFi Lounge this Friday, June 5th 5-8p. And in October? SuckaPunch returns! Mark your calendars now, October 2-4, this is going to be BIG.

After 15 incredible months, Green Mountain Ramen will be closing our chapter at The Heart Rose Club.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Tara Cheney and Fred Cheney for giving us the opportunity to call Heart Rose Club, our home. Over the past 15 months, we've learned so much, not only about running a weekly pop-up, but about community, resilience, and who Green Mountain Ramen is at its core.

To our supporters, fans, friends, and everyone who shared a bowl of ramen with us: thank you. Your encouragement, feedback, laughter, and belief in our vision helped carry us through this journey.

We would also like to thank the people and organizations who helped make this experience so special:

🍜 Simon Dimond for bringing our community together every Thursday night through karaoke.

🎻 Howard and friends for filling our Fridays with the wonderful sounds of bluegrass music.

This is not goodbye.

In fact, we have a very exciting opportunity on the horizon for Green Mountain Ramen, and we can't wait to share more details with you soon.

Thank you for being part of our story so far. We are deeply grateful for every bowl served, every conversation shared, and every memory made.

Please stay tuned for what's next.

With gratitude,

Ken, Jane, and the Green Mountain Ramen Crew
