About Us
NuMondo strives to bring you healthy, old world products made from new world varieties locally grown on a small scale using sustainable practices.
Our products are grown and produced at Mt. Philo Farm and Vineyard in Charlotte, Vermont. Our farm sits nestled between Mt. Philo State Park and Lake Champlain in the beautiful Champlain Valley. The western aspect, lake breezes and glacial soils make our location a wonderful place for a vineyard cultivated with northern varietal grapes. These grapes will go into the production of wines at Shelburne Vineyard in Shelburne, VT and to make some unique northern balsamic vinegars using the traditional Balsamic method.
Beyond grapes, we are interested in healthy farm products and have planted Mid-Oleic type Sunflowers and northern varieties of Lavender. The sunflowers produce a culinary oil to supply our local community with an unfiltered, nutritious oil that is excellent for both cooking and dressings. The first batch of lavender was harvested this year and we produced some natural hand and bath soap, sachets and sea salt for culinary or aroma-therapeutic use.
