For nearly a quarter century Vermont Soap has been an organic personal care products pioneer bringing to market the first USDA organic shower gel, foamer soap, spray cleaner, pet shampoo, stick deodorant (and more). We sell under our brand, co-pack and sell in bulk to other businesses. Our mission is to replace yucky stuff with yummy stuff.

Vermont is known for its maple syrup, its mountains, and now its soap. Vermont Country Soap Corporation makes a wide variety of organic cleaning options, including natural bar and liquid soaps, bath and shower gels, pet shampoo, and yoga mat wash. Additionally, the company sells bath accessories, such as incense, loofahs, nail brushes, pumice stones, and soap dishes. Each year, the company manufactures approximately 1 million bars of soap, which are sold to retailers across the US and in Japan. Vermont Country Soap also makes soap in custom blends for private labels. The company expanded its products portfolio in 2008 to include organic pet shampoos.

Vermont Way Foods is an initiative of The Vermont Food Hub Collaborative, which was formed to support Vermont farmers and promote food access in their communities. They aggregate, store, and distribute the bounty of Vermont so our farmers can farm and our makers can keep making great food.

We are a collective of farmers, artisans and craftspeople. Cheesemakers, meatsmiths and sugarers. We’re not different because of some fancy high tech wizardry. We’re different because we do things the Vermont Way.

We take things a little slower and lead with our values. We operate in community, not factories. We are building soil, not laboratories. We believe it is an act of courage to have integrity in a world that incentivizes Bigger, Quicker, Cheaper and Easier.

We’re proud to raise our food with care, craft and empathy. We are farming with an older kind of ethic, one that is centered on strength of character, a generous spirit, and the courage to be uncompromising in our values. It requires a strong heart and a brave soul to do the right thing, instead of the easy one.

Vilicus Farms officially started from scratch in 2009 when Doug and Anna purchased 1,280 acres of Northern Great Plains prairie off the open market with 20 years of savings and lots of hutzpah. The vision for Vilicus began years earlier when Doug, whose family’s grain farm in Ohio had been lost in the farm crisis of the 1980’s, began looking for a viable way to return to farming. Without the existence of a traditional family farm base, options were limited. In 2005, Doug and Anna recognized the emerging opportunities in the organic market and began drafting their vision of a model organic farm that would push the boundaries of conservation and sustainability.

Anna and Doug developed the vision for Vilicus Farms over 30-plus years of involvement in and observation of North American agriculture. The name, Vilicus Farms, was chosen thoughtfully. In Latin, there are two words for the English term “farmer.” The first, agricola, refers to one who labors on the land. Agricolae were essentially farm-laborers who were often slaves in ancient Rome. The other term, vilicus, is literally translated “steward of the land.” A vilicus was the overseer of a Roman estate, who managed the land, facilities, and staff with an emphasis on maintaining the long-term productivity of the land. While vilici were often freed-slaves, they were held in high regard by the landowners and by Roman society.

At Vital Farms we work everyday to produce pasture-raised, USDA Certified Organic eggs. For us, this begins and ends with providing the healthiest and most natural environment for our birds. You won’t see any cages on our farms, but you will see birds living like birds should – grazing on organic green pasture and enjoying plenty of space and fresh air.
There are many elements we consider vital to our methods: organic green pastures, multiple native grasses, herbs, seeds, and other natural foliage, top quality organic feed, plenty of fresh water, relatively small flock sizes, lots of space to roam and forage, protection for the birds, shelter from inclement weather, and a personal attentiveness to the birds’ welfare!
Knowing that we provide people with a true superfood in a way that is respectful of land, animal, and everyone involved in the process, is very rewarding.
