Burnham & Mills, Ltd.

Fran and Jonathan Rutstein, owners of Burnham & Mills food business located in the Wells River Industrial Park off Route 302, are seen here with some of the many products they manufacture that range from chocolate mixes and pancake mixes to lollipops. TBWS/Bernie Marvin. In 1988, native Vermonters Jonathan Rutstein and his wife Fran purchased a small, local company with three chocolate sauces and a client base of about a dozen good customers. Since then, they have expanded their product line to include eight creamy chocolate sauces, fresh berry preserves, savory jams, spicy Dijon mustards, authentic pasta sauces, unconventional salsas, barbecue marinades, and elegant champagne vinegars and infused grapeseed oils plus an award winning line of hot chocolate beverages made with organic kosher cocoa and caffeine-free "White Hot" drinks, instant chai teas and exotic tea blends. Not to mention a Vermont summer necessity: "Moose Pops," hand poured, real maple flavored suckers! Whether under the signature Bread & Chocolate name, or our new Burnham & Millsª label, our products are still made in small batches, using the finest natural ingredients and packaged by hand in Vermont.
