Co-Founder
Greg
Greg has lived in Falls Village, Connecticut for many years. We could call him a local. He is the proud dad of two young men and two dashing French Bulldogs. With a degree in engineering and management, and a passion for all things earthy, he brings a groundedness and pragmatism to the business. He also really knows his way around a beehive, a maple tree and a quarry so we’re never far away from homegrown raw materials. And did we tell you how adept he is with his hands? Together we bring a curiosity, quirkiness, authenticity and love to everything we do. We have a great combination of practicality, passion, prowess.
