THE VERMONT MAPLE HERTIAGE EXPERIENCE

Service Description

Step inside a working fourth-generation Vermont sugarhouse and discover how maple syrup has evolved from buckets and wood-fired tradition to the equipment used by maple producers today. Your experience begins with the history of Vermont sugaring and our family's maple story, including a visit to our original sugarhouse, where you'll see the tools, equipment and methods used by earlier generations. Then we'll bring you into our current working sugarhouse to see how we make maple syrup today. You'll learn how sap travels from the maple tree to the sugarhouse, why it takes so much sap to make a gallon of syrup, how a wood-fired evaporator works, and what makes Vermont maple syrup different from the pancake syrup you'll find at the grocery store. And, of course, you'll taste the difference for yourself. The experience concludes with a guided tasting of Pure Gold maple syrup and specialty maple products, where you'll discover the differences between maple grades, flavors and products made from pure Vermont maple syrup. This isn't a factory tour or a staged attraction. It's an opportunity to step inside a real Vermont maple operation, hear the stories behind four generations of sugaring, and experience one of Vermont's most iconic agricultural traditions with the family carrying it forward.
