The Chittenden Difference
At the Chittenden Group, we aren’t just insurance people, we are family!
We are a fourth generation, family owned and operated business that was founded by Ted’s great-grandfather. He started the company in 1928 on a card table in his living room. At the time he was working in a local agency and felt that he could do better for his clients on his own. His philosophy was simple, “treat customers the way you would want to be treated.”
It is because of that philosophy that we have been able to not only survive, but thrive, since our meager beginnings. As one of New England’s premier independent insurance agencies, we offer personal insurance, commercial insurance, financial services, employee benefits and a variety of value-added services that meet the specific needs of each of our clients.
Our Just Cause
We exist to put people first, treating them the way we would want to be treated. We help protect futures, create lasting relationships, and establish peace of mind for all.
Our Mission

We stay committed to growing the company to better serve our clients, to give our employees gratifying professional opportunities, and to have the resources to positively impact our local communities.
