Sugarsnap At Echo

Specialties

Sugarsnap has proudly served farm fresh foods on nearly every type of table in Chittenden County (and beyond) since 2003 — from family kitchens to board rooms to wedding receptions.

We’ve been around for quite a while, and look forward to bringing farm-​to-​table fresh, made-​from-​scratch foods to many more tables in the years to come.

History

Established in 2003.

Sugarsnap is a mission-​driven business working hard every day to put Sustainable Food on Every Kitchen Table.™

Our unique experience from farm to kitchen to table, has given us many insights and ideas on how to grow our business while simultaneously supporting our mission. We’ve also built up a great network of regional farm and food producer partners to ensure we’re always serving the freshest, healthiest and most delicious food.

Today, Sugarsnap is powered by our commissary kitchen feeding multiple channels, e.g., retail stores, catering, etc. Our regional «hub-​and-​spoke» structure is at the core of our Burlington-​based expansion.

Meet the Business Owner

Abbey D.

Business Owner

Abbey grew up in a small town in Iowa and went to college in Minnesota. She has lived in Vermont since 1994, and has had an indirect career path that has included work as a breakfast cook, wildlife field research technician and a newspaper reporter. Grounding her life has always been a passion for food, cooking and gardening. In early 2002, she left her job as an editor and writer at Gardener’s Supply in Burlington to enter «Abbey Duke University». Her goal was to learn the skills necessary to start a business that involved growing produce and selling it’s end product. She worked on a vegetable farm in Addison County, spent 4 months on a permaculture project in Costa Rica and took numerous business planning workshops. She opened Sugarsnap in December 2003 with two business partners, and has been intimately involved in all aspects of the business, from cooking to bookkeeping to customer service. She lives in Burlington with her partner and two young daughters.
