Shrubbly

We believe in chasing dreams and making good by working hard, taking our best shot, and pressing on. Trying to put all the pieces together for a farm and a food startup was a long shot, but after a lengthy search for farmland that we could afford, in 2010 we finally found the perfect place. For the first few years we worked to build a small, renewable energy powered farmhouse for our family, and then on April 26, 2013 we planted our first berry bush. Nearly seven years later, on January 31, 2020 we filled our first cans of Shrubbly®. We placed those first cans onto shelves on the memorable date of 02/20/20. They started selling really well at local markets and cafes, then COVID-19 hit. COVID made the importance of our mission even more clear. We kept things going as a family during the pandemic and we were so thankful to have our first full-time employee, Chelsea Harris, join us in 2022. We have become active participants in important groups like the Vermont Fresh Network, Northeast Organic Farmer's Association, the Good Food Guild, TIG Brands Collective, etc. We were also part of a collective created to renew a 600 acre former Vermont dairy farm. We were focused on transforming the farm into a model for regenerative ag, but that Collective was recently dissolved when the owner of the property died unexpectedly. We are pressing on and we will continue to grow sustainably using our own small farm and other resources.
