Vermont Maple Syrup

Special price on Grade B, stock up for fall!

Pure Vermont Maple Syrup comes from Vermont's native Sugar Maple tree. We produce 100% pure maple syrup from Vermont Sugar Maple trees. Clear semi-sweet maple sap is gathered, and boiled down with our wood fired evaporator into a deliciously sweet amber syrup that has been a tradition at the Vermont breakfast table for generations. Whether Vermont maple syrup is old or new to you, order some today to be part of the long tradition and enjoy one of the best all natural delicacies Vermont has to offer!

A Family Tradition Of Making Maple

The next generation learns how to drill a hole in the maple tree. Tim Hescock and daughter Tasha.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 1800 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.

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).

What grade tastes the best?

Some say Medium, some say Grade B. Others say Fancy. What's it all mean? All Vermont maple syrup is graded according to its color. We'll leave it to you to explore and find what "maple bouquet" suits your taste buds best.

Fancy (Grade A)

Light and mild maple flavor. Usually made in the earliest part of the sugaring season.

Best For: Cake icings, ice cream, delicate desserts and for making maple cream and maple candy.

Medium Amber (Grade A)

A popular choice for the table. A bit darker and a bit stronger maple flavor.

Best For: Pouring on waffles, pancakes, and French toast.

Dark Amber (Grade A)

A deep color, clean but stronger maple flavor. Typically, made later in the sugaring season as the weather turns warmer. Often preferred by "seasoned" users because of its robust maple taste.

Best For: All around use for cooking and at the breakfast table on waffles, pancakes, and French toast. The stronger maple flavor makes it the best choice in baked goods.

Grade B

Made from the last days of the sugaring season. Has the darkest color and strongest maple flavor of the table grades.

Best For: Cooking and baking. Its heavy flavor is ideal for meat glazings, baked beans, and certain desserts. Some old Vermonters still make it their choice for pouring on a hearty stack of waffles or buttermilk pancakes!
