Two Vermont products always on order are Vermont Maple Rub and Rick’s Vermont Kitchen sauces. As popular items go, these are tops at Vermont’s Own Products. Folks walk in the door asking for them specifically!

Why wait for a special occasion when you can make cooking a treat every day? Vermont Maple Rub is a dry marinade made from seasoned maple sugar and has a light peppery taste. Hand-rub this mixture into meat and watch it dissolve into a juicy marinade for chicken, pork, beef, salmon and even shake over veggies. For everyday grilling, baking or pan frying. It’s a product unique to Vermont and the flavor profile is so pleasing that our customers cannot order enough of this stuff!

As for Rick’s Vermont Kitchen, his Vermont handcrafted dressings, marinades and barbecue sauces are all natural and are as versatile as all get out! The pairing possibilities are endless. We were so thrilled to welcome Rick's Vermont Kitchen to our family of products here at Vermont’s Own this year because these are all healthy, handcrafted, GMO-free craft sauces.

At Vermont’s Own Products we always start with a good cup of Vermont Coffee Company dark roast. There is a reason we can’t keep this brand of java in stock and it has to do with being organic and fair trade, yes, but mostly it’s about the rich Vermont-made taste. There is undeniable quality packed into every single bean! As palate pleasers go, the gurus at Vermont Coffee specialize in a very narrow range of big, bold coffee. In other words, for those who like it strong! Ship this delicious Vermont favorite to that someone special today along with these staid treasures listed below.

Oh honey, how we love thee! Champlain Valley Apiaries has been producing quality honey since 1931 so these peeps know exactly what they are doing! It’s our most popular honey here at Vermont’s Own. We like to stir ours right into our Vermont coffee. Did you know honey is a healthy alternative to sugar and is a sweetener used since the beginning of documented history? Of honey, King Solomon said, "Eat so much as is sufficient for thee, it is sweet to the taste and health to the bones."
