Our story
A movement that started with a single hike.
What started as a hike has grown into a tradition built around mobility, health, wellness, family, close friends, and the kind of social connection that only happens when people share a trail, a story, and a purpose.
At the heart of the brand is the phrase “Have a Happy” — a saying made meaningful by Footie, the oldest participant, now in his 90th year. More than 45 years ago, when Footie chose a sober lifestyle, he coined the phrase as a reminder to live with gratitude, joy, and intention.
Today, that same spirit carries forward through Hipster Vermont: move well, live well, and have a happy.
