Field notes
Why it belongs
Working teddy-bear factory, guided production tour, plush retail, hands-on stuffed-animal Design Studio and an on-site Vermont Flannel shop.
Visitors can shop the company’s bears, customize a plush animal and follow the manufacturing story inside the active Shelburne factory.
The Vermont Teddy Bear Factory in Shelburne is a visitor destination built around the company’s working Vermont production operation. The Bear Shop sells Vermont Teddy Bear products and changing plush merchandise, while the Design Studio lets visitors choose, fill and customize a stuffed animal. Approximately 30-minute guided factory tours are ticketed and offered daily subject to staffing, weather and capacity; the route explains and shows cutting, stitching, stuffing and assembly work, though a particular production stage is not guaranteed. An on-site Vermont Flannel shop is an additional retail component of the same visit, not a separate profile or manufacturing claim.
