Freemountain Toys:
Freemountain Toys, Inc. was a company based in Bristol, Vermont, USA that produced anthropomorphic vegetables and fruits called Vegimals and other plush toys and hats with stuffed appendages.
The company was founded in 1975 by Beverly Red in her home in Burlington and moved from there to a loft, then a storefront and finally to a former grist mill in Bristol that was renamed the Vegimill.
In 1978 the company's gross income was almost $6 million.
Products were sewn by as many as 140 local women in addition to a staff of ten at the Vegimill, where the grain bins were used in cutting, assembling, and boxing merchandise.
In June 1980, Red sold Freemountain to Michael Balser.
The company's trademarks have since expired.
Freemountain was awarded a certificate of commendation by the Public Action Coalition on Toys for its safe, imaginative products in non-sexist packaging and inspiring constructive and non-violent play.
