Our Vermont maple syrup is handcrafted in a rustic sugarhouse on a small family farm. The sap from the maple trees is collected and then boiled over crackling wood fires with family and friends gathered around. It is truly small-batch and single-source. We are proud to offer 100% pure maple syrup with no added flavors or infusions.

The families in our collective take great pride in making the best pure maple syrup available. We all farm independently, but we sell collectively under the 'Maple Farmers' label and each bottle is labeled with the name of the small maple farm that made the syrup. Our packaging is eco-friendly and all shipments are carbon neutral.

Pure Vermont Maple Syrup Flavors

The flavors of pure syrup can vary significantly. The terroir of the soil, weather, and processing methods of the tree sap impacts the flavors. 

Glass bottles are the best containers for pure Vermont maple syrup

Why Use Glass Bottles for Maple Syrup?

Glass bottles will preserve the color and flavor of pure syrup. They are also recyclable. If syrup is stored in plastic jugs it will darken over time.

Taste the Best

Our pure maple syrup is made with traditional methods on small family farms. The caramelized flavors are exceptional when the batches are small. Most syrup is mass produced with high-brix reverse osmosis and steam boilers. It just doesn't taste the same. Vermonters know what makes good syrup, and we want to share our pure, unadulterated syrup experience with you. You will taste the difference.
