The Vermont Country Store
“ I grew up learning the art of storekeeping that was based on my Grandfather’s principles of finding useful, functional products that the farm families of northern Vermont could not easily find elsewhere, or make themselves. It was from these principles that our motto, “We sell products that don’t come back, to people who do,” was born.
We plan to keep this a family business and my three sons, Cabot, Gardner, and Eliot, serve on our Board of Directors and are learning the responsibilities of their roles as “Props.” As a family business we make a serious commitment to the practice of giving back to our communities and to this special place called Vermont. All the terrific folks who work here serve as ambassadors of The Vermont Country Store to their local community organizations and it’s through them that much of our contributions are made.” -Lyman Orton, Prop.
