- To make the slates, first large chunks (up to 10 tons) of slate stone are unearthed from the quarry and cut down using a block saw. Those smaller pieces are split by hand with a chisel and hammer to create the cheese boards.
- Slate is sourced from the Vermont and New York Slate Valley, a unique geological formation that runs between the two states.
- Slate is one of the most durable naturally-occurring stones readily available.
- Each slate is completely unique in cut, shape, color and overall presentation, but all slates from Brooklyn Slate are at least 3/8" thick, making them stronger than most plates and sturdy enough to withstand commercial dishwashers.
- Brooklyn Slate, founded in 2009, creates cheese boards and other home goods from locally-sourced slate.
- Slate, one of the most durable and readily available natural stones, is ideal for sturdy kitchenware.
- Brooklyn Slate sources their stone from a third-generation quarry in the Slate Valley on the NY/VT border.
- They cut the slate using a block saw or a chisel and hammer, depending on the size. This process creates subtle differences in each piece, ensuring that each Brooklyn Slate product is unique.
- Brooklyn Slate finishes, wraps, and packs their pieces at Progress Industries, a division of The Arc, Oneida-Lewis, which is a non-profit serving people with developmental disabilities and helping them to access meaningful employment.
