Carpooling Granola - opp. for FREE product

We are somewhat forlorn about the state of transportation of goods and people in our society. Gasoline, emissions, concrete over forest, field and wetland... it's too much!

However, this is the reality of travel and transport, so we'd like to work within that system to create positive alternatives.

We are seeking a carpool situation for our granola deliveries! If you are headed somewhat regularly to BRATTLEBORO, WHITE RIVER JCT., ESSEX, BURLINGTON or SMUGGLER'S NOTCH, we have an opportunity for you.

If you would willing to drop off a box of wholesale Nutty Steph's to an address in these towns, we will offer you $12.00 of granola or chocolate products from our shop.

It's simple if you're already headed that way -- When we have a delivery that needs to go to these towns, I will call you and let you know. Then you just swing by our shop at Camp Meade, come in the side door, and your box and whatever treats you request will be waiting for you.

Interested? Email sales@nuttystephs.com with your name, phone and email address and I'll put you on the list.

Nutty Steph's at the Inauguration!



Linda Purdy can't leave home without her Nutty Steph's. Pictured here you can see her devices for channeling the warmth of Vermont's homemade goodies and woodstove comfort to stay warm in the chilly crowd of 1.8 million happy people on the mall in DC.

She enthusiastically wrote to us, "Thanks for the granola. Happy 44th Presidency!"

Nutty Steph's wishes you HOPE, everyone...

WCAX Fun in the Morning



Andrew, Greg, Donna, Steph and I had an exciting morning working it for the camera.

Andy the Camera Man got some great shots of the young and dashing Jack Thurston as he asked gently-probing, genuine questions to make interesting conversation with Steph about small business in Vermont.

See us on the air for Made In Vermont on Channel 3 WCAX News this Friday at 6:00!


Also, the news piece will soon be streaming online! Until that link is at your disposal, here are some exciting shots of a fun morning at Nutty Steph's Chocolate Shop.

Hosting the Bake Shop Field Trip


We were so tickled today to fill the shop with young energy.

The Harwood Union High School Bake Shop earned their end of the semester class field trip by baking and selling 76 pies. After a tour of the Red Hen Bakery next door, Nutty Steph showed them around our place and had a laugh-a-riot talking about her early failures and triumphs as a young business person.

Thanks for coming out bakers!
