Vermont Maple Sunday, March 23, 2025

I said to a co-worker the other day that each state’s maple days are a little different in feel. In Massachusetts I felt like a welcome visitor. New Hampshire I felt kind of like a colleague dropping in. In Maine I’m usually just one of the crowd. But in Vermont, I generally feel like family – sure, it might be a cousin that you haven’t seen for a while – but I swear, if I told one of these people I was hungry, I think they’d give me their lunch.

Jones Boy’s Maple, Danby, VT – not open yet this day

Tapped Out Maple, Danby, VT

I have such a soft spot for old trucks…

This is a father-son business – one of my favorite things about maple is that it’s often a family affair!
Bartering syrup for photos 🙂

Dad is on the left here

Thrall Road Maple, Poultney, VT I forgot that I had been here before.

I’ve never seen this before. I wonder how it sells? It’s no longer a pure product…

I’ve never seen maple in a milk jug before.

Verlaska Maple, Poultney, VT. This couple had spent a number of years in Alaska. Now they are in Vermont, hence Ver-laska.

This is also a HipCamp – I’ve never heard of this before. This is an app where you can find places to stay. Sometimes they are just tent sites, sometimes cabins, tree houses, or maybe a school but. Because they don’t have all the amenities, they often have great prices!

Greens’ Maple, Poultney, VT

Green’s has quite a presentation and a little bit different vibe. The evaporator room gets very steamy but the maple smell is just right!
We learned about the process in pictures before we went inside and experienced it.

Maple farmers often barrel their syrup as they make it. They might sell the barrel full or open a barrel to create new bottles of syrup in December. I don’t remember which place that I visited that had a barrel for sale for about $1,400.

Many of the farms I visited this year had ladies stoking the firebox. I have not experienced this before.

Green’s also gives a variety of free samples. The guy in black here was one of the tallest people I’ve ever seen which makes me smile even more when I remember this.

Genier Maple, Fair Haven, VT – this sugar house is converted from the old family garage. Plenty of space inside.

They graciously gave me this huge frybread and provided my choice of toppings. I spread maple cream on it and added some extra maple sugar – delicious!

In all my maple adventures I’ve never seen a tank raised on a automotive lift before.

Cuttin’ It Sweet, Hubbardton, VT

Brian’s original evaporator

There was a girl scout troop here working on their maple merit badge

This team appeared to work wonderfully together and had a super product!

Silloway Maple, Randolph Center, VT

I have visited Silloway once or twice before. Some things have changed and some haven’t. They have the biggest wood-fired evaporator I’ve ever seen. The fire tender told me she thinks it’s the biggest one made. They also produce the electricity for maple and their dairy from solar panels on the roof here.
I remember fancy wood piles from before but these had lost something…

Small maple farms create a bottle each time they boil. Large farms create a numbered bottle for each barrel they create. This represents a lot of barrels.

I told this lady that I’d never seen anyone wear ppe to feed the fire box before. She said that the box runs so hot and the door is so large she wears it to protect herself from the heat, not flying or sharp objects.

I’ve never noticed fingerprints on the smoke stack before, but I may not have looked that closely. I was thinking that the oils from someone’s hands was attracting the smoke, but the pattern is just the opposite. Maybe there were oils on the stack that got wiped off by fingers…

Best maple in show at the Tunbridge Vermont’s World’s Fair – pretty impressive (I think) 😉

Some amazingly light syrup!

Maine Maple Saturday, March 22, 2025

One thing I love about Maple is that it makes that long New England mud season between winter and spring much shorter. I also love Maine Maple weekend because it is also the first outing of the Maine Entomological Association (the Bug Folks) combining the best of both worlds. So I like to plan my Maine Maple Weekend to spend at least some time with MES at the Donahue residence in Whitefield.

The first visit for the day was Jillson’s Farm in Sabattus.

They were not yet boiling for the day but the sugarmaker was still enthusiastic about telling people how things work.

Someone thinks they have pretty good product!

They certainly had quite the variety!

Pep’s was not far.

I get rather frustrated when the line to purchase product goes out the door with no other way to see the actual process.

So I went to the next on my list, Maple Rush Sugar House. This has quite a picturesque building but it was hard to get a good picture as there was so much other stuff too close.

The red line on the hydrometer is above the syrup – over sweet! Easily adjusted.

The main purpose for choosing Maine on Saturday was because the Maine Entomological Association was also having their Syrup Making/Bucket Checking bug day, the first of our monthly outings for 2025.

A number of neighbors get together to collect sap and keep the furnace stoked.

There are a number of old farm maples along the back of the yard.

Charlene is a great teacher with learners of all skill levels.

On the way home I started with Poulin’s Maple in Windsor.

Many of the sugarhouses had boardwalks that would have been very helpful but there was very little mud.

Watching the syrup finally flow.

And my last farm for the day, Marcoux’s Maine Maple in Wiscasset.

Very picturesque sugarhouse.

And a sweet large evaporator with a steamaway.

Planning your Sweet Maple Road Trip! 2.0

In 2017 I wrote about planning your sweet maple road trip. There’s been a lot of water under the bridge since then and some technological changes. This year, for the first time, I used Google My Maps. Rather than planning a route like I did with MapQuest, Google allows me to mark each farm with a pin and be able to choose on the fly which place to go to next. On my desktop there is an icon that will give me step-by-step directions though I don’t see this on my phone. When I click on the pin I get the address which I then type into my GPS. In Vermont and Maine I have gone places that don’t have cell service, places my phone GPS wouldn’t work. I always carry my old Garmin with me so I don’t get stuck somewhere without a map.

Once again, I rely heavily on the State Maple Associations to find locations, and more importantly addresses, to plan out my trip. Most people probably don’t keep a year to year spreadsheet listing all the farms that have belonged to their state association since 2017, and you don’t need to, but you will need names and addresses of your desired goals.

Create spreadsheet with Name and address, including street, town, and state. Add notes – when the place is open or why that one might be special. You can adjust your data display so these notes show up on your map. Because my Excel data file has multiple pages, I save only the current list on a new Excel spreadsheet in my “Downloads” file because, if all you’re doing with it is creating the map, it can be deleted when you are finished. You can also keep the folder open where you have saved it and drag and drop from there.

Open Google My Maps. The link that got me here was http://www.google.com/maps/d/ Click the hamburger (the 3 parallel lines in the upper left corner), choose “Create a new map”, and click “create” in the box that pops up. If you click on “untitled layer” you can rename your layer. Click on “import” and find your spreadsheet; either browse or drag and drop. Google will then allow you to choose the columns that contain your address information. When you then choose “Continue”, you will be able to choose the “name” column it will use to label your pins. Click “finish”.

When you see your map, you will see the pins marking the addresses you created. If you click on the pin, you can adjust what you can see on the label. I choose to see the name and hours they are open in addition to the address. I will often direct my tours so I end up far from home so that this drive can take place after a day full of adventures when the farms are closed.

Most importantly, have a sweet time visiting!

NH Maple Weekend, March 15 & 16, 2025

I love when I can begin a NH Maple Weekend with pancakes at the Barrington Fire Department. My camera was being wonky so I don’t have any inside photos.

And then, across from the Fire Department is my friend Josh and Spring Harvest Maple. I think he needs a new sign…

Josh offers a discount to his customers who bring back his glass bottles to be refilled. This pic shows lots of signs of business, although I don’t see any names on these bottles so maybe these are all new..

One of my favorite photos – Every time most sugarmakers start a boil they fill a small jar demonstrating the quality of the syrup at that point in time. There may be a different number of jars each year as weather dictates how long the season is. This represents 132 boils.

When I left Barrington I headed over to the Monadnock Region. I am very frustrated with the NH Maple Producers organization. This weekend I had 20 farms on my list of places that I hoped to visit, all that had the 2025 Maple Weekend logo in the upper right corner of their directory listing. Of this, I found 8 farms open for visitors. I may have driven 200 miles out of my way this weekend 😦

First stop on my list, Fieldstone Farm in Rindge. This is a farm farm with cows and chickens in addition to maple. It also probably has a great reputation as the line for checkout went through the evaporator room into the kitchen.

Just before I went to Fieldstone I passed Maple Row Sugaring. I went back there as my next location even though they were not on my list 😉 This sugarhouse is rather small but their product was quite tasty. It amazes me that these places can be so close to each other but still are able to sell out of syrup with only word-of-mouth.

Not many runs yet this year but very consistent

Next up, Mighty Maple. Not large by any means but good things come in small packages.

I loved the large stained glass maple leaf in the window – and the shadow it left on the floor 🙂

Being artistic with a short depth-of-field

Fun logo!

This classic sugarhouse may make it into some of my Alternative Photography. (If you’re interested in such stuff, check out some of my earlier posts on this blog)

As I was trying to leave the U-shaped drive, I had to stop as someone was purchasing at the associated roadside stand. As he was leaving he apologized and said, “I love that he takes Venmo”.

Because I couldn’t count on all the saphouses on my list being open, if I passed a farm I knew was open, I stopped. I saw the sign along 12A as I was heading north and I stopped and was glad I did. This is a fun family sugarhouse with food and picnic tables inside and great products for sale. I really wanted to purchase maple fudge but I controlled myself (this time).

I hadn’t remembered that I had already been to Hillside Sugar Bush Farm. I’m glad I stopped. Last time every one was stressing a little bit because it was not only Maple weekend but also town meeting day. It was town meeting day again but I guess this year it was earlier and it was fun to come and find the whole family there.

I love their shirts and everyone had one.

I believe this is Jim Lukash. He and I had a fun discussion about how maple challenges one to invent and make do.

I passed by a sign for Beaver Pond Sugarhouse. I stopped but this wasn’t the actual sugarhouse which is located “up on the mountain”. It was a fun farm stand with lots of maple products for sale. I purchased another Maple Soda bottle and contents for my collection.

And last, but not least, time was running short so I didn’t get to all of the places on my map. I cut over to South Sutton and my friends at Meetinghouse Hill Farm sugarhouse. I couldn’t resist this little one in his Carhartts.

This sugarhouse house is in my “create art from this” list.

Cody Anderson is a mild mannered Kearsarge Regional High School Science teacher by day and…

And Dad is Sr Director of Education for the Forest Society and co-host of “Something Wild” on NHPR.
I’m not usually a fan of tattoos but Dave has the best… if someone forced me, I’d choose tree leaves as well.

Final shot as I was leaving.

And I was blessed by a sweet sunset on the way home.

Two Taps Sap House was the 5th on my list for Sunday and the first one welcoming visitors.

Not quite the final product but the first step that is actually syrup.

When Grandpa used to sugar, he used wooden pipes for collection. This is one of them.

I couldn’t get a good angle to take a good picture of the end of the pipe so I trusted my camera to do it for me and didn’t realize it failed me. This is the end that was pared down to fit into the next pipe.

And I was blessed with a parting gift.

I believe this was one of the places on my list that was not welcoming guests.

But then I found Morrill’s Sugar Shack in Franklin and it made up for some of the earlier deficits.

I’m bummed I didn’t get names. Father and son are working this together – I love that. The pusher that the son is using here is from an old coal stove. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone use this tool before. Not only is it great to move around wood and ashes in the fire box but he can easily grab and open both doors at the same time.

This is dad inside the wood shed. He said I had to go outside and see it from there…

And it was well worth the short walk. It is only the firewood that is holding the window and the door. How fun!

And the heart is intentional 💕

After this I headed over to Tilton to Just Maple. The first time I came over here I was mostly curious because I had seen their product for sale at other places. The sugarhouse is not the most picturesque but they do things well here.

If I followed directions, I would have been led through the tasting room into the gift shop. I would have been told that the sugarbush tours start by the big old maple tree. But I didn’t really want a sugarbush tour today and I walked through the gift shop to the tasting room backwards. I did buy a long-sleeve t-shirt…

Every sugarhouse dog should have a heart on his chest 💕

And another of those sugarhouses that wasn’t open for visitors…

And it was raining at this point.

But by the time I reached Leighton Farms East & West in Sanbornton it had stopped. The sugarhouse was in one location but the East & West referred to the original farm on one side of the road and the newer purchase on the other. This sugarhouse was much taller than most others I have visited. I apologize, I really need to start taking notes again. I don’t remember all the cool stuff I heard about. Leighton Farms is apparently well-known for it’s Bourbon infused syrup.

And I was again given a parting gift…

And last, but not least, in NH this day I visited Smith Farm in Gilford. I had forgotten that I was here before, and it wasn’t until I walked around the building that I recognized the place. The last time I was here I think there was a zillion other people – this day I had the place to myself. It looks like this house is about 78 years old and is looking pretty good for its age.

Massachusetts Maple Weekend – March 8 & 9, 2025

Saturday, March 8, the HodgePodge Adventure Team (the dogs and I) headed down to Massachusetts on a Maple tour planned from the Massachusetts Maple Producers website. First stop, Williams Farm Sugarhouse in Deerfield, MA. This is a nice Sugarhouse with a restaurant and a good Family Vibe in the Connecticut River floodplain.

Next stop on my list was the Graves Glen Farm Sugarhouse in Shelburne. There was probably a farmstand up the road with an open sign but I was hoping to catch the sugarhouse open and was disappointed when it wasn’t.

I believe this is the Cranston’s Tree Farm sugarhouse in Ashfield. Once again, I drove by what might have been a farmstand but was looking for open sugarhouses.

The North Hadley Sugar Shack is a larger place with sugarhouse, restaurant, and store. It has been in business a little shy of 30 years and has a family feel.

Harris Mountain Sugar Shack in Granby was the next stop. I think he gave me a taste of really good syrup but I really need to take notes again… He did have craft and food items for sale from neighbors including some sweet pottery and a food truck. He collected his sap in bags – I have only seen this a two other farms, one at the very beginning of my maple adventure in 2009 that was swapped out for buckets the next year, and another in Lebanon, Maine that I’ve never seen open for visitors.

Next up was Deer Meadow Farm in Warren. I did have to back down the neighbor’s driveway when I realized that the directional sign wasn’t so clear. This sugarhouse was up on the side of a hill with a magnificent outlook!

This is a small family farm with a sweet little sugarhouse. Because they are on the side of a mountain they have wonderful natural flow for the tubing system but, because they are not at the bottom, have to truck the sap up the hill. The syrup here was also outstanding.

Sunday morning I headed out by myself to return to Massachusetts for more sugarhouse visits.

First on the list was Kimstead Farm in Pepperell. The is a beautiful new saphouse on what looks like a historic farm. I love sugar farmers who are excited to teach visitors.

The Farm’s guard dogs 😉

Boggastowe Farm, also in Pepperell, is another historic farm with a new sugarhouse. I had a couple of issues with showing up at times that farms said they were not open or had closed already. I think part of this was my looking at old posts but I wonder if some of it was people who had not yet changed their clocks…

The tree on the left above and right below is a Norway Maple. Farmer Kevin Ritchie assured me that he finds no odd tastes in his syrup and that this tree, and the couple of others that are around, give sap with a pretty high sugar concentration.

The Norway Maple spile

This is his original evaporator, now refurbished as a table. There is currently a Vermont Evaporator Company that has been known for barrel evaporators that is now getting into larger units, but it is not associated with this older company.

I didn’t feel that an RV in the driveway was very welcoming so I didn’t look hard to see if this farm might be open.

Rocky Brook Farm in Sterling is a historic old farm recently purchased. I would have loved to stand around an hear the stories – I think I heard something about the previous owner, an older lady, who used to carry the full buckets around. Kristin uses food safe buckets from Tractor Supply for collection.

Sweet little sugar shack just big enough.

I wondered if Kristen Hemenway is a supermodel. I guess she really is a fitness trainer.

This tree looks like it could tell stories.

And last but not least, we visited Bucket List Maple in West Brookfield. As you can imagine, Tom and Martha are retired and have always wanted to do this.

They said that they had this sign made for farmers’ markets

I’m sorry, I’m neglecting the important things, I don’t remember what the cat’s name is. I thought she was just about the same grays and browns of the evaporator. She seemed to be leaning on the evaporator but I didn’t smell any burning fur.

Martha and Tom

Maine Maple Memories

2020 is certainly turning into an unusual year. Although we have had warm weather in January for a couple of years now, 2020’s warm January lasted all the way into February, kick starting sap flowing by about 2 weeks. And then it flowed fast and furious, though with little sugar content. A brand new maple farmer that I visited had purchased brand new equipment for his brand new year, looked at the sugar content and purchased a brand new RO to go with it. Sugar got a little higher, but I think everyone would say it never hit the high of other years.

2020 is also a very different year for the HodgePodge team. I love the fact that New Hampshire celebrates Maple Month so I can start visiting early. I usually aim to hit Maine on Maple Sunday, and for four years my Mom and Dad have been on my Maine Maple Adventure Team.

Dad had the Wilcox engineering mind and Mom is just curious. They loved to visit new sugarhouses and old friends. We traveled hours together.

In 2018 we ended the day at Morin’s Maple in Limerick, Maine. My Dad wore his new Veterans Hat and the family honored him with a bottle of syrup for his service. I almost regret that in 2019 I went to Vermont for the weekend by myself – they did not venture out to farms where the ground is not always smooth.

In April of 2019 Mom fell. She never regained her health. In June Dad also got sick and was not with us much longer. In September I lost my faithful Saphound Frodo, and just last week Mom joined Dad.

This year COVID determined that Maple Weekend would not be held in March. Perhaps we will celebrate in September. I have a new Saphound Polly and hope to have Matisse join her later this year. But Maple will never be quite the same.

Love you lots! Miss you terribly! Love, Kate

Maple 2021

Sweet Celebrations!

Kendra asked me how she could celebrate Maple Weekend in the Rochester area by eating pancakes. This is what I came up with:

Barrington, NH Fire & Rescue, in conjunction with Spring Harvest Maple Farm across the street on Route 9 will be having a pancake breakfast both Saturday and Sunday, March 24 & 25 from 8 am until 11:30.

One of my favorite Maple Weekend Activities for families with Young Kids is the Remick Museum Maple Sugaring Day Open House on Saturday, March 24 from 11 am until 3 pm (no charge for this part). This year they are also recommend people “Eat Local for Breakfast” at the Preserve at Chocorua, 88 Philbrook Neighborhood Rd., Tamworth from 9:30-12:30. They are serving pancakes or Belgian waffles at $10 for adults, $5 children 12 and under, and free for age 4 and under. The proceeds from this will benefit the Museum to help children attend programs.

Harris Farm (or here) in Dayton, Maine is having a pancake breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, $8 for adults, $4 kids 11and under (cash only). 8 am until 2 pm.

Triple C Farm & Boilers in Lyman, Maine is having an all you can eat pancake breakfast with our own farm raised sausage. Saturday and Sunday from 7 am until 12 pm. $8 for adults, $4 for kids.

Morin’s Sugar House in Limerick, Maine will have their pancakes Sunday only from 8 am until 4 pm. (I will bring Dad & Mom here after church on Sunday). (Cost not listed)

Clark Cole Family Farm is having their open house pancake breakfast Saturday only from 8 am until 12 pm in Dayton, Maine. $5 per person.

There is an East Canterbury Maple Festival with a pancake Breakfast on Saturday for $5 per person. The maple stuff looks like it could be great but I am attending the Kearsarge Maple Festival this year. Their pancake breakfast, sponsored by the Warner Historical Society will be at the United Church of Warner from 7:30 until 11:00 am. It is $8 per person with under 5 free.

Early-Maple-Season Adventures 2018

(Header photo from Rochester Library Photo Contest 2015)

In November of 2017, the friends of the Rochester Library contacted me about doing a presentation for the Library on Maple Sugaring. Shortly afterward, Nick Kosko, VP of the New Hampshire Maple Producers contacted them offering to do a presentation. The friends asked us to do it together. Nick and his wife Cindy are the proprietors of Meadow View Sugarhouse in Union, a relatively local farm that I have visited several times. Nick sent me an outline of how he thought the presentation should go and I created the PowerPoint slideshow. We worked the presentation together and I had a fun time. This was the beginning of my Maple Season and it’s been rolling along since.

The Southern Maine Maple Sugarmakers Association is an organization founded to address the needs and interests of maple farmers. They are a wonderful resource for beginners and experienced sugarers alike and reach out with education such as their Sap House at the Cumberland Fair. They regularly hold a pre-season workshop for maple newbies. I’ve attended this workshop for two years now – it’s a fun place to hang out and refresh myself on Maple Basics. This year it was held at The Little Meetinghouse in Windham, ME. One of the members told me that one goal of this meeting is to lessen the amount of poor quality syrup reaching the public. They stress the importance of cleanliness and using food grade containers in the whole sugarmaking process. I’d love to join this group but they limit their membership to Maine residents.

Weather has not been my friend when planning Maple Excursions this year but it did cooperate on Sunday, February 18 when I headed out to Moose Mountain to view the Meadow View Sugarbush. On Saturday the 17th the ground was clear but Saturday night brought about 18″ of fresh powder to the mountain. Cindy and Nick were already up on the mountain but I could head in the right direction by following their snowshoe tracks. The Spring Harvest Sugarbush in Barrington where I have documented Josh Bouchard tapping is an old New England farm and fairly level. The Meadow View sugarbush covered the side of the mountain and had slopes of 40 – 60%. I got my work out in the woods in snowshoes but the views were spectacular. This mountainside had been sugared many years before by previous owners who appeared to have just left it with taps still in the trees. The Koskos are looking to be much better stewards.

The first Maple Open House of the year that I saw posted (on Facebook) was Maple Moon Farm in Lebanon, Maine. Frank had been at the SMMSA workshop in January. Maple Moon is also an old farm and most of their Sugarbush is on practically level ground. Some of these trees are on tubing and some are on buckets. I’ve never had the pleasure of watching farmers collect – I enjoyed getting photos of women working in the woods. Frank and Jen produce many of the usual maple products as well as other products and produce from their farm. They are regulars at several local farmers’ markets and I am particularly fond of Frank’s wood turnings. I love Maple but I also love photography and Maple Moon provides a particularly picturesque setting.

On March 4th I went on what was originally billed as a Snowshoe and Sugaring hike of the Leary Farm & Forest but there was not much, if any snow on that day. We were given a short tour of the sugarhouse at Forty to One Farm in Farmington, NH by the owners, Bob & Debbie Leary, and received an explanation of tapping by forester Wendy Scribner. Moose Mountain Regional Greenways is almost finished with the process of putting 60 plus acres of this field and woodland into conservation, a memorial to the three generations of Learys who have farmed, sugared and forested this land on the Farmington Ridge.

March 11 will begin New Hampshire Maple Month and a whole new set of adventures!

Planning your Sweet Maple Road Trip!

Maple Season is short and the time of open sugarhouses is even shorter, so I’ve come up with a means of hitting as many as I can as quickly as I can. Having a GPS helps but is not necessary if your goal farms are on main roads.

Farmers who belong to the state associations (see link here) let the association know when they will be open and often provide a “news release” listing specialty items or unusual activities they may have available. I decide on an area I want to conquer on a particular day and create an excel spreadsheet transferring the data from the website. I then use MapQuest’s Route Planner option to create a tour that includes all the sites. This site includes an option to upload a spreadsheet.

The Map this creates for me may or may not be reasonable. It gives a time estimate, but of course that does not include any time for the stop itself. And the Map is only labeled with the addresses, not the names of the farms, so I have to keep my Excel Spreadsheet handy. I compare it to thethe map and the list and may pull stops off of my map if there are too many or they are too far away. Eventually I’ve worked it down to a “do-able” list and I’ve taken farms off of the spreadsheet to match. I put the “pin numbers” from Mapquest on the spreadsheet and reorder the list keeping in mind if a farm has listed that it will open late or close early.

I save both the original long list and the final draft as pdfs and open them on my tablet. The day of my adventure I use the short list to feed my GPS and add in stops from the long list if I find I have recommendations from farmers or extra time. I will often direct my tours so I end up far from home so that this drive can take place after a day full of adventures when the farms are closed.
