We are located on Route 74 in Shoreham, Vermont. If you have not been to this part of Vermont before, you'll enjoy a variety of scenic drives that lead you to the town of Shoreham. If you are coming from the East (Maine, New Hampshire, etc.) be sure to take Route 73 from Rochester to Brandon.

From the North or South or West

Find your way to Route 22A. This route runs north and south through New York state (22) into Vermont (22A). In the town of Shoreham take Route 74 East. Take 74 East for about 1.5 miles. We are on the left. Look for our big red maple sign.

From the East

Look for Route 100, which runs north and south and is considered to be the most scenic road in Vermont. In the town of Rochester take Route 73 West over Brandon Mountain to the town of Brandon. You can either continue on Route 73 to where it meets Route 22A in the town of Orwell (see above) or take Route 7 North to Middlebury. From Middlebury (see map) take Route 30 South for a few miles.

Sugarhouse Tours & Maple Trail

Preview The Tour Guide

March 1st-October 31

Stop by anytime to experience our new self-guided maple trail and sugarhouse tour. Start with a walk in the woods seeing the famous Vermont Sugar Maple tree, see how we collect the sap, and finish with a tour of the sugarhouse and free maple tasting. If you'd like a guided tour for your group please call ahead.

Maple Sugaring Season

March 1-April 5 (approx.)

While the maple sugaring season is a short period each spring, our high quality maple syrup at farm-direct prices is available year round. You'll find an even broader selection of syrup in decorative glass and tin at our retail shop which is open everyday, March thru December.

You may want to plan your trip during the sugaring season, and see Tim boiling down the sap into syrup first hand. The timing varies each year, but your best bet is the 1st week of March through the 1st week of April. If you really want to make sure the sap is running when you come, please give us a call a day or two prior to your visit.
