Updates for December 2024

December - The new sapping season starts in late winter; typically from mid-March to mid-April in most maple-syrup producing areas, when temperatures are below freezing at night and above freezing during the day. Tours usually begin in early Spring! That's a great time to visit a maple sugar orchard or sugarworks and see a sugaring demonstration; watch them make maple syrup!

Where are Maple Syrup farms/orchards/sugarworks, etc.? Well, they're not in Hawaii or Florida, for sure. They are concentrated in the northeast and upper midwest in the US and the eastern half of Canada, even though maple trees do grow in the northwest. That's why the areas below (in states outside of the Northeast and Midwest) have no listings! Although, there is research to develop trees that can produce sap/syrup in warmed climates.

March and early April finds the entire Luce family busy making maple syrup. Maple sugaring is really family time because we are spending many hours together in the sugarhouse while Jeff, Ralph and Matt bring in the sap from the sugar woods and boil it down to make our Pure Vermont Maple Syrup
  As the weather warms for sap flows, the snow slowly melts and Vermont's gravel roads turn to mud. If you visit during mud season, be sure to wear your boots and hope your car is high enough to get through the ruts and mud. Please call if you have questions about road conditions. Precise weather is required for making syrup. We need a cold night about 20 degrees F and then a warm sunny day in the 40's and low 50's for good sap flow. So we can never predict more than a few days ahead of time which days we will actually be boiling maple sap. Also check our Facebook page for maple sugaring and boiling updates. We tap about 8,500 trees and hope to make about a quart from each tree. We start making the Grade A golden color, delicate taste (formerly known as the Fancy syrup) syrup at the beginning of the season, then progress to Grade A amber color, rich taste, Grade A dark robust taste and end with Grade A very dark strong taste (formerly known as Grade B), just before the buds open and the season ends. If you would like to visit, please call us at 800-281-1757 or send us an email at contact@sugarbushfarm.com and we will try to give you an idea of our sap boiling schedule. Our sugarhouse is open every day even if we aren't boiling sap, so you can tour and get a good idea of how it works. Walk on our maple trail and see the buckets and sap lines. Watch how our sap comes out of the tree and how it's collected. On March 24th-26th our farm, along with others in the state, will celebrate Official Maple Open House Weekend.
