The Orton family has always been in the general store business, which is why even though the Vermont Country Store was just established in 1946, it has roots from the older and better days of these kinds of retail establishments. Today?s established business is a means of continuing the Ortons? shopkeeper legacy.

Aside from being known as one of the last commercial establishments of the rural general store kind, the Vermont Country Store is also known to be the best place to look if you?re after something that?s hard to find. They sell general merchandise items, especially traditional and nostalgic pieces.

The Vermont Country Store is also a part of the Orton Family Foundation, which is designed to support local communities and aid their improvement.
