Nicolet Forest Bottling Company
Pronounced Nick-o-LAY
Nicolet Forest Bottling Company, founded in 1987, bottles Nicolet Natural Artesian Water–bottled water for home and office delivery in six Midwestern states, and at select retail stores.
Using only the pristine water from our protected, underground aquifer, we bottle all our products at the source–our 63 acres of land in northeastern Wisconsin that is surrounded by the 661,400 acres of Nicolet National Forest.
Our source and water bottling operation are 8 miles east of Mountain, Wis., in Oconto County, which is about 70 miles northwest of Green Bay, Wis.
From the efforts of our 25, primarily family-owned, independent distributors, Nicolet Forest Bottling Company is the largest bottler of 5-gallon, natural artesian water in the Midwest.

Our Bottling Facility
From Nicolet Forest Bottling Company's confined aquifer of ground water, Nicolet Water rises to the surface naturally through our artesian wells into our sealed bottling system. Then it flows into two filling rooms, one for the 3-gallon and 5-gallon bottles, and another for the single-serve bottles.
Each filling room maintains filtered, positive air pressure for maximum sanitary conditions. All this means Nicolet Natural has never contacted the air until you open the bottle–that's why it is Fresh From The Forest!
