We ensure that everything we do makes the most of our natural resources, while minimizing our impact on the environment.
Our home state of Vermont is a hub for environmentalism – and it’s easy to see why. Our breathtaking mountains, crisp air, and fresh, flowing waters invite people from around the world to experience nature, at its best.
Protecting the planet
Hydroelectricity
Our Quechee, VT flagship, restaurant and glassblowing studio is housed in a former woolen mill that’s turbine-powered by the rushing Ottauquechee River.
Solar Power
Our corporate offices, outlet store and pottery production facility in Windsor, VT is powered by a solar field. This alternative energy source will offset nearly 40% of the power needed to run our workshops and home office buildings.
Thoughtful packaging
We’ve updated our shopping bags and gift boxes to feature recycled content and to be fully recyclable themselves, so you can feel good about giving.
Farm to table sourcing
Our restaurant sources from local farms whenever possible to reduce our carbon footprint. We compost food scraps to add nutrients back to the soil.
Company-wide recyclying
All of our offices and retail locations feature easily accessible bins to encourage recycling so we can lessen our impact on local landfills.
Efficient production practices
We reuse materials whenever possible. From recycling glass back into our furnaces to reclaiming clay scraps, always prioritize sustainable practices.
