Butler Family Maple Syrup
The Butler family has a long tradition of tapping the maple trees on the farm and producing pure Vermont Maple Syrup. David's family has farmed this land since the 1840's and we are keeping that tradition through our sugaring operation. The old sugarhouse is no longer around, but the passion for syrup production remains. We tap the old-fashioned way with buckets, as well as by using tubing and mainline. We welcome visitors to the sugarhouse when we're boiling (mid-March thru mid-April). Our syrup is Certified Organic by Vermont Organic Farmers.
Sugaring is a family venture around here and everyone helps. Our daughters Kathryn and Rebecca are frequent visitors to the sugarhouse, and David's nephew Steffan and his family pitch in and help as well. We continue to boil on wood so sugaring season does not end when the maple tree leaves bud. Throughout the summer, we cut and split wood and work on maintaining and installing tubing lines.
