It’s our mission to serve high quality products without pretension, taking pride in our work and treating others with respect and kindness. We value integrity, and put this into practice at every level of our business. 

We make as much as we possibly can from scratch.  From the bread your breakfast sandwich is on to the chocolate syrup in your mocha, to the coffee beans you love to brew (and much more).  When you come in, you’ll have a truly unique experience because of this.  

Located in the heart of Essex Town in the Essex Experience, Uncommon provides a large and comfortable space for all to share.  Whether you're a group of people looking for a place to meet and relax, or an individual working from your computer, we have a home for you here.  Come enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, or join us for a meal. 

Our vision is to offer a practical solution to a real problem. We explored making dog treats and we fell in love. Mixing, baking, packaging, oh my! Fast forward two years and Bellcate School Dog Treats is fully operational.

​

Students in special education with disabilities need meaningful education and employment and your dogs need good treats.  With each purchase of Bellcate School Dog Treats, you are supporting both. Students and their families are filled with hope and enthusiasm about the far reaching impact of our program.

Come and explore Nusantara our World Marketplace in Essex Vermont at the Essex Experience!

Welcome back to Sunset Lake Craft CBD, who are sponsoring the Essex Pride Festival again this year!

Tucked away in Vermont’s Champlain Islands, Sunset Lake’s beginnings are rooted in Vermont dairy. The ownership trio learned that it would take a village to properly raise thousands of hemp plants— careful to preserve the CBD’s integrity without the use of harmful pesticides. The majority-farmer-owned business put out the call for help and set their starting minimum wage at $20/hour.

It’s these principles— farmer ownership, honest pay, and dignified work— that have seen Sunset Lake through three successful harvests and allowed the company to grow.

Today, Sunset Lake ships craft CBD products directly to your door, practices sustainable farming techniques, and uses its brand to help empower workers all over because of support from people like you!

Please welcome back, the Creative Discourse Group!

Our work contributes to Vermont (and beyond) becoming a place where we continue to grow our capacity to live in true community with each other. A place where all people succeed, regardless of their zip code, their age, their race or ethnicity, their sexual orientation, gender or ability status.

Vermont is working towards the benefits that come from building authentic, equitable, anti-racist communities and organizations.

We imagine a Vermont where we love and appreciate each other, celebrate our joys together, and work collectively (and effectively) to solve our common challenges.

Since our club’s founding in 1966, the Rotary Club of Essex has been an integral part of our local community in Essex, Westford, Jericho and Underhill.  Each year, our members raise and donate tens of thousands of dollars to benefit our community.  We provide scholarships to local students, we donate coats and winter gear to needy families and so much more.    

Rotary isn’t just about charity; it is also an excellent way to build connections and friendships in our community. Through our regular lunch meetings, volunteer opportunities and fundraising, Rotarians build strong and deep relationships with one another and across our community.  What’s more, through our speaker series, our Rotarians interact with leaders from across government, business and non-profits.
