Who Are We?
On this website you will be able to purchase our seconds & overruns, which only go on sale twice a year, Fourth of July, and Columbus Day weekends. We may just surprise you with a pop-up, so keep an eye on our social media for dates!
To purchase first quality products, please visit our main website, VermontBowl.com.
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. 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!.
