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.
==History==
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.〔Lynne Baranski, ("Madcap Hatter Beverly Red Made Herself a Success, Er, Thimble Out of Whole Cloth," ), ''People'', May 14, 1979.〕〔Kenneth W. Dike, Outlook Club of Bristol, Vermont, Bristol Historical Society (Vt.), ''History of Bristol, Vermont, 1762–1980'', 3rd ed. Outlook Club of Bristol, Vermont, 1980, OCLC 8109949, (II. Manufacturing ), pdf online at Bristol Works!, pp. 6, 9.〕 In 1978 the company's gross income was almost $6 million.〔〔According to Maridee Allen Winter, ''Mind Your Own Business, Be Your Own Boss: Every Woman's Guide to Starting a Business and Succeeding'', Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey: Prentice Hall Spectrum, 1980, ISBN 978-0-13-583468-8, (p. 96 ), almost $16 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.〔〔Winter, p. 96.〕〔Manufacturing, p. 9.〕〔John Reilly, ("What's Doing in the Green Mountains," ), Travel, ''New York Times'', July 26, 1981.〕
