About Us

Meet Nick Rosato, the hands behind Vermont Peppermill. Nick's journey began with this ridiculous photo a few years ago. He thought by posing with his big bowl amidst a chaos of sawdust and woodchips he'd look cool. But that's certainly not the case. So he repositioned himself. 

Here he is playing with his chisel as if it were a guitar. 

And that's what we do every day here at Vermont Peppermill. Air guitar. Rosato has been turning since 2007. He honed his skills creating stunning bowls, art pieces, chess sets, and pepper mills. He also turned projects for the building trades such as balusters, newel posts, column bases and other random projects.

You may have seen him at the Burlington Farmer's Market where he sold his wares for the past 10 years. Now he's focusing on internet sales and occasional craft shows.

He is rebranding under the name The Vermont Peppermill. Rosato transforms ordinary trees into extraordinary kitchen and home masterpieces. His craftsmanship breathes life into every piece, adding a touch of art to your dining experience. Discover the magic of his creations and bring a unique flair to your home today!

Below is an awesome video created by Cameron Bushey from Six Five Films in Essex Junction, VT. It marks Rosato's debut as a lead actor, and he was super excited to play himself. They thought about getting Brad Pitt because he is really hot and attractive like our wood peppermills and bowls, but honestly Brad can't turn a peppermill worth a nickle. If Brad did try his hand at carving, Rosato says he'd collect the sawdust and stash it in a cardboard box until he needed a fire starter for his wood stove.
