In 1946, Vrest and Mildred Ellen Orton opened The Vermont Country Store in the quaint village of Weston, Vermont. Vrest Orton said: "I can still recall my father's store, where most of the men came in the evenings to wait for the horse-drawn stage that brought the mail from Montpelier, 13 miles away." Today, The Vermont Country Store is owned by Lyman Orton and sons Cabot, Gardner, and Eliot. They still adhere to the old-fashioned values set forth by their father and grandfather Vrest and take pride in being the Purveyors of the Practical and Hard-to-Find.
