Supporting the Environment, One
Candle at a Time
Vermont HoneyLights is located in the
scenic hills of Bristol, Vt. Its four owners, Bonita and David
Bedard, their daughter Shawna Sherwin and friend Robin Terricciano,
purchased the company three years ago, after having worked under
its previous ownership. Vermont HoneyLights benefits from its
owners' varied backgrounds in fine woodworking, visual merchandising,
pewter production, quiltmaking, textile design and business management.
The four partners run every part of the business, from making
each candle by hand to selling them through their retail space
and an online store. They consider each candle a work of art,
as each is hand-molded from 100 percent natural beeswax, provided
by a network of beekeepers in West Virginia, New York and Florida.
