We are a privately owned company located in Wilmington Vermont. With very few exceptions all the products which you will find on offer in our website are manufactured right here in our own facility.

Our craftspeople are both men and women, young and old, with the longest serving having been with the company for over 30 years.

We have been producing fine wood products since 1967 when John McLeod first started in a borrowed workshop just months after emigrating from Scotland.

John worked for a number of years as an individual craftsman. The business went through all the traditional stages of borrowed workshops, house basements, tiny converted gas stations and property purchases finally followed by five factory extensions and the development of two attached retail stores.

No other company produces a range of wooden bowls in production quantities to equal that of The Vermont Bowl Company. Because of our earlier years of individual craftsmanship a tradition of standards was imbued into the company which has translated into a reputation for quality and integrity in company policy and in product which is the envy of the industry.

VP Tommy Fox has been with the company for over 30 years. Tommy is a partner in the firm with John and it is with Tommy that the future of the company lies. Tommy and John collaborate in a number of areas such as design and future planning but Tommy has complete responsibility for the day-to-day operation of the company.

Come visit our retail stores in Wilmington Vermont and you will find many items, including items for the home & office which are not included on our website. And a fabulous time of year to visit us is during our annual July 4th weekend or Columbus Day weekend Seconds and Overruns Sale. See you there!

The following is a reply from Vermont Bowl to our question – "Are your products American Made?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
