About Vermont WoodNet, Inc.

Vermont WoodNet, Inc., a non-profit organization, was established in 2000 to address the needs of small-scale Vermont wood product businesses that produce "Vermont Made" products, by creating opportunities for education, joint manufacturing, joint marketing and increasing access to materials and services.  In 2010 their mission changed and expanded...see below.

These are the things that people think about when considering Vermont Wood Products, and Vermont WoodNet members proudly live by:

• Craftsmanship is everything in wood products.  I buy Vermont wood products because I know that each one is carefully crafted rather than stamped out by some cookie cutter machine.
  
  
• Vermont wood products are made with an eye towards tradition and the values of days gone by.  Old time values of hard work and getting it right are important in how Vermont wood products are made.
  
  
• To me, Vermont is authentic...the real thing.  Even the wood products I buy feature old fashioned craftsmanship and attention to detail.
  
  
• Vermonters work hard to preserve their environment, and that makes me feel better about buying their wood products.  I like knowing that the wood products I buy from Vermont are made by people who are sensitive to the environment.
  
  
• Integrity is a word that comes to mind when I think about Vermont products.  I feel like the Vermonters whose wood products I buy are honest and trustworthy, that their products are of the highest quality, and they stand behind everything they make.
  
  
• Vermont is a place that gives me a profound sense of well being.  Enjoying products from Vermont lets me experience that feeling even when I am far away from there.
  
  
• Quality is what sets Vermont wood products apart from those made in other places.  Vermont wood products have lasting value.
  
  
• Because Vermont wood products companies are small, locally owned and operated businesses, I feel like I can have a one-on-one relationship with the company.  And if I need any help with my products, the people at the company will be accessible to me.
