Vermont Eco Furniture Company Teams with Bolivian Craftsmen to Help Save the Amazon Rainforest

Innovative sustainable forestry initiative helps preserve Amazon rainforest
VERNON, VERMONT, A cooperative of eco luxury furniture makers in Vermont has teamed up with forest management experts at LaChonta of Santa Cruz Bolivia, to help save the Amazon rainforest through the manufacture and sales of high end outdoor eco furniture.


“We’ve always had a passion for the tropical rainforest and it’s inabitants,” said Vermont Woods Studios owner, Peggy Farabaugh. “We try to do our part to save the rainforest by ensuring our wood is certified as sustainably harvested by the Forest Stewardship Council, FSC, the worldwide gold standard for responsible forestry practices. The minute we saw LaChonta’s line of beautiful heirloom quality FSC certified outddoor furniture we knew our customers would love it! Since then we have worked extensively with LaChonta and are now the only company able to provide this eco luxury line of furniture to US and Canadian consumers via the Internet, and at very reasonable prices.”
Vermont Woods Studios is a marketing and sales representative for over 30 of Vermont’s world-renowned fine furniture makers. “Most of us have been in business for many years”, explains Farabaugh “but we haven’t had the time or resources to focus on Internet marketing. Working together as a group, under the umbrella of Vermont Woods Studios, allows us to be much more efficient and cost-effective in our marketing and outreach efforts. We want to bring the beauty, authenticity and environmental and social consciousness of Vermont to the rest of the world.”
