Production

Our sugarbush is located in the foothills of Camel’s Hump, one of the highest mountains in Vermont.

Our taps are on a pipeline system which enables the sap to flow directly to the sugarhouse or into collection tanks. Our sugarhouse is equipped with a 5'x16’ wood-fired, forced draft evaporator. We are one of the last sizeable operations to still be fueled by wood! We have a "piggyback" pan that utilizes the steam from the evaporator to preheat & begin evaporating the sap, as well as an RO (reverse osmosis) machine that removes some of the water from the sap prior to boiling.

Both of these improve our efficiency, enabling us to burn less wood.

All of our syrup is pumped through a filter press to insure purity. Syrup is either packaged for retail sale or put into bulk barrels for later use. Some syrup is used to make other fine products like maple cream, candy and maple sugar.

All maple syrup and other fine products sold are produced right here on the premises! We take pride in producing top quality syrup and maple products and are happy to be able to share them with you. Enjoy!
