Butterfly Bakery

Butterfly Bakery of Vermont started in 2003 as a small natural foods bakery in a rented coffee shop in the middle of the night. Owner, Claire Georges, worked her day job at a bread bakery, then switched aprons to make cookies and granola overnight. In 2014 Claire hired her first baker which allowed her to expand her business.

When a friend had a spare 800 lbs of chili peppers, a side hobby of selling hot sauce at the local farmers market turned into producing those same hot sauces for a larger market. They were an instant hit and are now sold around the world, still utilizing the same locally grown peppers, balanced flavors and care for detail that made them a hit at those first farmers markets.
