Green Mountain Monarch combines my love for my home, Vermont, with the idea of growth, transformation, and building something beautiful from the ground up.

When I was a kid, every late August, we’d go “caterpillar hunting” and find local monarch caterpillars. Back in the early 2010s, the airport had fields upon fields of milkweed behind it. It looked like it went on for miles, granted I was like three feet tall at the time. Whether it was with my mom, dad, grandma, brothers, or childhood friends that lived close by, it always felt like an adventure.

Monarch butterflies are facing serious population declines, and life as a tiny caterpillar is not easy. Eggs and caterpillars may be lost to predators, disease, pesticides, severe weather, or a shortage of healthy milkweed before they ever have the chance to become butterflies.

Caterpillar hunting gave us an opportunity to observe and care about the monarchs living around us. When we responsibly raised a small number, our goal was to provide fresh milkweed, a clean enclosure, and protection during their most vulnerable stages before releasing healthy adult butterflies back outdoors.

Monarchs also remind us that growth cannot be rushed. It takes time for a caterpillar to grow, form its chrysalis, and eventually emerge ready to spread its wings. In a world that often encourages us to move quickly, their transformation is a beautiful reminder to be patient with ourselves, appreciate each stage, and make room for slow, meaningful growth. Just like a monarch, this business is beginning small and taking shape one stage at a time. It started with a dozen cookies shared with coworkers, grew into a collection of original recipes, and is now becoming something much bigger.

Cookies are only the beginning. We have plans to expand into new products, new partnerships, local stores, and experiences that bring people together. Every step is part of the transformation, and we believe the best things are built with patience, care, and the courage to keep growing.

A monarch reminds us that growth does not happen all at once. It takes time to develop, change, and eventually grow your wings.

That is what Green Mountain Monarch stands for: starting where you are, believing in what you are building, and making room for something beautiful to become even bigger than you first imagined.

Green Mountain Monarch is currently preparing for launch! We are finalizing our recipes, packaging, website, and commercial kitchen plans before officially opening for orders.

Our planned cookie menu includes Brown Butter Chocolate Chip, Maple Oatmeal, Confetti Cake, Brownie Batter, Cinnamon Swirl, Caramel Coffeehouse, Red Velvet, Peanut Butter & Fluff, and Campfire S’mores.

Our classic cookies are made with approximately 85 grams of dough each, while our stuffed cookies are approximately 100 grams.

Both are thick, generous, bakery-style cookies—and sharing is still entirely optional.

Our current menu includes nine flavors: Brown Butter Chocolate Chip, Maple Oatmeal, Confetti Cake, Brownie Batter, Cinnamon Swirl, Caramel Coffeehouse, Red Velvet, Peanut Butter & Fluff, and Campfire S’mores.

Flavor availability may vary by preorder window, season, and location. We also plan to introduce limited-edition flavors as Green Mountain Monarch continues to grow.

Choosing just one is optional.

Green Mountain Monarch is currently preparing for launch. Once orders open, cookies will be available through select preorder windows, local pickup opportunities, pop-ups, and participating retail partners.

As we grow, we hope to bring our cookies to more local stores throughout Vermont. Current ordering dates, pickup details, and store locations will always be shared on our website and social media.

Keep checking back—our wings are still growing.

After the online store is officially open, yes! Green Mountain Monarch may accept larger orders for birthdays, showers, workplace celebrations, weddings, and other special events, depending on availability.

Custom flavor requests, packaging, and order sizes will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Larger orders may require additional notice and a deposit to reserve your date.

Send us a message with your event date, estimated quantity, and what you have in mind, and we’ll let you know what is possible.

Yes. Our cookies contain or may contain common allergens, including wheat, milk, eggs, soy, and peanuts. Specific allergens vary by flavor and will always be listed on the product label.

Green Mountain Monarch products are prepared in a home kitchen that handles multiple allergens. While we take care during preparation, we cannot guarantee that any product is completely free from cross-contact.

Please review the ingredient and allergen information carefully before enjoying, and contact us with any questions before placing an order.

For the best texture and flavor, keep your cookies sealed in their original packaging at room temperature and enjoy them by the date printed on the label.

To bring back that fresh-from-the-oven softness, remove the cookie from its packaging and warm it in the microwave for approximately 8–12 seconds. Heating times may vary, so start small—you can always add a few more seconds.

Want to save one for later? Our cookies can also be frozen in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. Allow the cookie to thaw at room temperature before warming and enjoying.

Please never microwave the cookie inside its packaging—microplastics don’t taste good.

Green Mountain Monarch plans to offer local pickup during select preorder windows, with available dates and locations listed at checkout.

Local delivery may also be available depending on your location, order size, and our production schedule. We are not shipping just yet, but we hope to spread our wings beyond Vermont as Green Mountain Monarch grows.
