MBF Bioscience is situated just ten minutes from downtown Burlington, Vermont. Located in the Lake Champlain Valley, Burlington is one of the nation’s most desirable relocation and vacation destinations.

If you love the great outdoors, you’ll be inspired by the beauty of our lakes, mountains, rivers and forests. The possibilities for outdoor recreation are endless, including hiking, skiing, fishing, biking, golfing, mountain biking, kayaking, boating, lake swimming, wildlife watching, and ice climbing.

The Burlington area features one of the lowest crime rates and best air-quality measures in the nation. Its proximity to Boston and Montreal make for great shopping, day trips, and cultural activities.

In 2003, SELF magazine named Burlington “The healthiest City in America”; in 1999, the Arts & Entertainment Network (A&E) ranked Burlington Number One in its list of “Top Ten Cities That Have It All”; and in 2005, Worldwide ERC and Primacy Relocation called Burlington “One of the Best Cities for Relocating Families.”

Entrepreneurial spirit and an educational tradition run deep in the Champlain Valley. It is a region filled with history, culture and natural beauty. There is always something to do, whether it’s enjoying a late lunch on the pedestrian-friendly Church Street Marketplace, taking a stroll along the trails of historic Shelburne Farms, or enjoying a Vermont Lake Monsters baseball game on a warm summer evening. Factory tours are a fun way to spend the day, as our famous Vermont companies create chocolate, teddy bears, ice cream, snowboards, and more.

The downtown area includes the University of Vermont, Champlain College, and several cultural opportunities, such as the Flynn Center for the Arts, which is the home of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra (VSO) and the University of Vermont Lane Series.
