A Family Tradition Of Making Maple

The creation of Vermont maple syrup begins on our family owned forest, known as a "sugarbush". Each spring the warm days and freezing nights makes the maple sap flow from our 700 taps. The sap is gathered and brought to our sugarhouse where the excess water is evaporated off, leaving behind the sweet golden liquid we call real Vermont maple syrup.

Making Syrup With Renewable Wood

At Vermont Trade Winds most of our syrup is made on a traditional evaporator that is fired with wood. Not only are we using the resources on our own farm land, wood is also a natural by-product of our maple sugaring operation. Throughout the year we selectively remove dead and overcrowded trees to encourage growth of the sugar maple tree. After a lot of hard work this wood is dried and ready to be used during the spring sugaring season.

It takes a significant amount of energy to boil down sap into one gallon of maple syrup. The modern day trend for many maple syrup producers is to burn fuel oil to make their syrup instead of the traditional method of using a wood-fired evaporator. In 2005 approximately 49% of the maple syrup was produced using oil and it takes an average of 3 gallons of oil to make one gallon of maple syrup. In a state like Vermont, if all syrup was produced using oil, the maple syrup industry would consume 1.1 million gallons of oil annually.

Additional information on using oil and wood to produce maple syrup can be found at the University of Wisconsin.

The Hescock family maple sugaring operation is located in the town of Shoreham in Addison County, Vermont. We are only a 15-minute ride from Middlebury, Vermont and welcome visitors during maple sugaring time (March thru mid-April) and our holiday wreath season (Thanksgiving thru Christmas).
