The Morse Family has been making maple syrup and related products in Vermont for 200 years. And their folksy maple farm outside Montpelier is an interesting place to visit any time of year. You'll hear an informative and fascinating presentation about the history and operation of the farm, and you can take a stroll on the trail among some of the sugar maple trees. There are farm animals to feed, and of course there is a gift shop with a wide assortment of the farm's products for sale. Take note of the books for sale written by Burr Morse, a seasoned member of the clan collecting colorful stories about the maple syrup trade over the years. Burr is a congenial and funny character who does some of the presentations. He also does the whimsical wood carvings that are on display.
If you go:
Open daily, with slight variation in hours by season. No admission charge. Harvesting season is mid-March to Mid-April. Note that Burr's books also can be ordered on the farm's website.
