Fall in Vermont

OUR STORY

We started making maple syrup in 2014 as a way to spend time together as a family outside and share maple syrup with friends and family. In 2017, we built our sugarhouse, installed sap lines, and began selling maple syrup online. It turns out everyone loves maple! Not only syrup but granulated maple sugar and crumbles too. Our little sugarbush could only produce so much sap each spring, so we began purchasing maple syrup from other small, wood-fired, bird-friendly sugarmakers in Vermont to fulfill orders for our maple sugar products. It has been a way to support other small sugarmakers, and we are especially grateful to Maple Mountain Sugarhouse and the Buck Family Maple Farm for working with us.

THE BRIDGE ROAD

In addition to the sugar woods, our property is home to a 1923 caboose which traveled on "The Bridge Road" line on the St. Johnsbury and Lamoille County Railroad. The 100 mile corridor from Swanton to St. Johnsbury is currently being converted into the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail, the longest all-season recreational trail in New England. We are currently renovating the caboose to be a useable space while keeping it as close to a historical replica as possible.

VISITING THE SUGARHOUSE

Our sugarhouse is located in West Danville in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, a rural three-county region (named by Governor Aiken in 1949 due to the lack of support for east-west transportation improvements at the time). The Northeast Kingdom is a beautiful, unique place to visit with hiking and biking, skiing, farms, breweries, restaurants and small family-run sugarhouses. It is rich in history and culture and many families have been in the area for generations. If you are planning a visit to the area and would like to purchase syrup from the sugarhouse, please contact us in advance at molly@bridgeroadsugarworks.com
