Our Story
When we first visited Vermont twenty years ago, we instantly fell in love with the natural beauty, fresh air, and simpler way of living. Now it is our home where we create delicious handcrafted confections made with simple, pure
ingredients unique to Vermont.
It started with a dream and the VFVC has been instrumental in making our idea of creating a nostalgic chocolate company into a reality. Because of the
VFVC, we were able to have an excellent facility at our fingertips with flexible hours, an experienced staff, business resources, certification opportunities, and equipment that we could not afford at Burke Mountain Confectionery’s
conception.

Our Story
Since our launch in 2013 we have collaborated / co-branded with other Vermont companies such as Eden Ice and Fat Toad Farm, which has been a
win-win opportunity for all involved and the Vermont brand too.
These past few years have been both exciting and challenging as we navigate the specialty food business and growth and share a little bit of
Vermont with the world.
