Sugarhouse Progression
1840 Sugarhouse
Maple Sugaring started on the farm in 1840. At first, maple trees were tapped with wooden spouts to allow the sap from the maple tree to drip into wooden buckets. The sap was collected in wooden sap tanks pulled by a team of horses. The sap was then hauled to the sugar camp in the woods where it was boiled in black iron kettles and flat pans on a stone arch.
1960 Sugarhouse
In 1960, the farm built a new sugar house roadside so electricity could be used to filter the syrup. In the 1980's buckets were upgraded to tubing and gathering tanks to increase efficiency.
2016 Sugarhouse
In 2016, we built a new sugar house! this new state-of-the-art building allows us to streamline the processing of sap into syrup. With the new building came a couple of high efficiency upgrades. We installed a new reverse osmosis machine to help us save on time and wood consumption. We were also able to move our vacuum pump from the woods to the sugarhouse in order for us to power it off street power and make us more energy efficient.
