Hi! My name is Nicole Bessette and I'm the owner, CEO and operator of Capt'n Cod's Bear Cove, LLC.

My family and I live in Brimfield and are lucky to be a part of this wonderful community. We have two amazing kids and a puppy who loves adventures. Our journey began when we moved back from the West Coast. As a family who planned to homeschool, I was looking for a way I could be there to make memories for my children while also providing an income for my family. I soon realized that this business is so much more! The magic of creating your own new stuffed animal is unmatched. More than 2,000 happy kids, and kids at heart, have visited the Bear Cove (or we've visited them). Each and every bear stuffing experience is unique and special and we value every single wonderful customer who has created memories with us. Having moved the business from Cape Cod to Central/Western MA and knowing the Bear Cove has been loved by so many over the past 5 years, I am excited to share it with in our new hometown and beyond!

Our goal is simple: bring the fun and excitement of creating your own personal stuffed animal to your doorstep while making memories for all the amazing people we meet!

Over 50 parties,
2,000 stuffed animals,
750 outfits,
600 T-shirts
and 450 accessories...
and counting!!!

Serving MA since 2018!
