Hubbardton Forge first fired up the Forge in a drafty old barn in the town of Hubbardton in 1974. They set out to master the art of black-smithing, mentored by their first "board of directors" - the few remaining craftsman of an industry gone by. Hubbardton Forge scavenged through New England gathering rusting anvils, trip hammers, swage blocks and other discarded tools of the trade.
Just as ancient hand-forging techniques live on at Hubbardton Forge, Hubbardton Forge design is truly timeless. Simple. Classic. Elegant. Original. Form and function are inseparable in every piece they design. From heavier gauge metals, custom turnings and superior internal components, to environmentally sound powder- coated finishes, HUbbardton Forge strives to create structural integrity...products that will endure.
Blended with the time honored traditions of forging are some of the best applications of modern technology. Hubbardton Forges' award winning, environmentally sound finishing systems provide the quality and efficiencies that allow them to spend their time doing what they do best - designing and hand forging their products.
Hubbardton Forge has long believed in the necessity of using the most environmentally sound means of creating our product. As a result they have adopted and pioneered new methods for cleaning and finishing, reducing process waste, and managing energy. They state that they have not trumpeted their desire to be "green" but rather emphasized their continuing mission to create the best possible product by the best possible means. Hubbardton Forge
is pleased, therefore, to be recognized for their efforts by the State of Vermont, as a three time recipient of the Governor's Award for Environmental Excellence.
