Vermont Business Magazine Vermont Plank Flooring is one of those businesses that seems quintessentially “Vermont.” Family-owned for three generations, VPF is hidden in plain sight right off of Putney Road in Brattleboro.
“Because we re selling lumber, which might be one of the slowest growing, most ecologically important products on the planet, said Mark Tarmy, one of the company s founders, “we understand that environmental stewardship is our responsibility.”
VPF uses selectively cut, sustainably harvested wood that is “as local as possible” to create wide plank, hardwood flooring for customers all over the country.
“We obviously want to turn a profit, but it s critical to us that we do so in an environmentally sustainable way that contributes to our community,” said George Tarmy, Mark’s son and Head of Operations at VPF, “We re well on our way to becoming a net-zero operation.”
