Why settle for mass-produced when your kitchen deserves a spoon with a soul?
Every Vermont HAND MADE Spoon is carved from sustainably sourced hardwood by hand — no two are alike, and every piece carries the warmth of its maker's touch.
Each spoon, a one-of-a-kind story.
Born from a love of Vermont and the simple joy of making things by hand
Vermont HAND MADE Spoons started as a quiet passion project in the hills of Reading — a place where the pace is slower and the craft still matters. What began as weekend carving sessions between chores grew into something far more meaningful: a collection of kitchen tools that bring warmth to every meal.
Every spoon begins as a piece of locally sourced hardwood. It's shaped, sanded, and finished entirely by hand — no machines, no shortcuts. The result is a utensil that feels alive in your grip, balances perfectly, and ages beautifully with every use.
Tools your kitchen has been missing
From stirring pots to serving spreads, each piece is designed to be as useful as it is beautiful — and built to last a lifetime of meals shared.
The Classic Cooking Spoon
A timeless design carved from hard maple — deep bowl, comfortable grip, perfect for stirring, tasting, and everything in between.
The Walnut Slotted Spoon
Rich black walnut with a naturally dark grain. The slotted design drains effortlessly — beautiful enough to leave on the counter.
The Cherry Serving Set
Sweet cherry wood in warm rose tones. This two-piece serving set is perfect for salads, pasta, and presenting food with pride.
The Maple Bread Knife
Sculpted from a single piece of hard maple, this bread knife has a comfortable ergonomic handle and a gently serrated edge.
The Gift Collection
A curated set of three spoons in mixed hardwoods — wrapped in handmade paper. The perfect housewarming, wedding, or "just because" gift.
Custom Commissions

From raw wood to your kitchen — the journey of a spoon
There are no factory lines here. Every spoon passes through patient hands at every stage, and that's exactly how it should be.
Select the Wood
We source only locally harvested hardwoods — maple, cherry, and walnut from Vermont forests.
Carve by Hand
Using hand tools and years of experience, each spoon is shaped from a single block of wood — no molds, no machines.
Sand & Finish
Multiple rounds of hand-sanding create a surface so smooth it feels like butter. We use food-safe mineral oil finishes.
Ready for Your Kitchen
Each finished spoon is inspected, wrapped in handmade paper, and ready to become part of your story.
A spoon made by hand carries something a machine never can — the rhythm of a person who cared about making it right.
