Vermont Evaporator Company (VEC) is North America’s original and premier, online, one-stop-shop for hobby maple syrup makers. VEC has been providing home/DIY maple syrup makers with high-quality, durable tools and equipment since it burst onto the scene with the Sapling Evaporator—still the world’s only patented, portable, multifunctional, outdoor maple sap evaporator—in 2015.
In a world that is rapidly changing and digitizing, VEC comtributes to the growing, back-to-basics counterculture by supporting homesteaders, landowners, schools, nature centers, retreats and other small producers in unplugging, getting outside and doing something tangible. With never more than 2 FTE, VEC has successfully managed for growth over the last 10 years, reaching customers in 40 US states and 6 Canadian provinces and making nearly $2.5 Million in total revenues to date.
Sold exclusively online, VEC’s heirloom-quality products and bespoke customer support have earned consumer loyalty that is exceptional in the online, hobby-equipment market. Customers come back year after year to supply and upgrade their hobby and share the hobby they enjoy with friends and family both online and IRL, creating an email contact list and social followings that are an easily leveraged asset of significant value. VEC also comes with a valuable (and professionally valued) IP portfolio including patent protection in US and Canada on all major product lines.
If you are ready to control your own work-life, work in line with your values, enjoy a seasonal work cadence (busy in winter, slow in summer), capitalize on the Vermont brand, belong to a collaborative group of Vermont makers, inherit a sophisticated, established online brand, reap growing online following and revenues, enjoy patent protection on your main product lines, promote good-clean-outdoor fun and lead a genuinely kind customer family, this is the business for you!
