After discovering the exquisite taste of quince paste in Spain, Vermont Quince Company was born from a passion for this unique and ancient fruit. With roots in New England’s rich agricultural history, we began experimenting with quince recipes and sharing them with family and friends. Encouraged by their enthusiasm and recognizing a growing market opportunity, we officially founded Vermont Quince Company in 2012.
Since then, we have transformed locally grown quince into a diverse line of handcrafted condiments and preserves. Our products — including quince paste, mustard, preserves, and infused vinegar — are made with a commitment to quality, tradition, and sustainability. We proudly support local sourcing and aim to keep our “food miles” as low as possible while delivering authentic, artisanal flavors.
As we continue to grow, we are expanding our offerings and building a community around the love of quince. From unique gifts to future product collections, we remain dedicated to sharing the joy, history, and versatility of this remarkable fruit. We welcome collaboration, feedback, and connections with others who share our passion for cooking, growing, and enjoying quince. - Nan Stefanik
