Cheesemakers, meatsmiths, and sugarers. We’re not different because of high-tech wizardry. We’re different because we do things the Vermont Way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6035426566874c2d17c26268/1616013326323-FN7IH98VIMJLIDN0NQWN/VTWay+KidCow Our Story - We take things a little slower and lead with our values. We operate in community, not factories. We are building soil, not laboratories. We believe it is an act of courage to have integrity in a world that incentivizes Bigger, Quicker, Cheaper and Easier. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6035426566874c2d17c26268/1616013849945-PZVL8DGDX8O110RBSBRM/VTWay+About3 Our Story - We’re proud to raise our food with care, craft, and empathy. We are farming with an older kind of ethic, one that is centered on strength of character, a generous spirit, and the courage to be uncompromising in our values. It takes a strong heart and a brave soul to do the right thing, rather than the easy one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6035426566874c2d17c26268/1616013969926-M8E4H3DPGSPAXROF8H03/VTWay+About4 Our Story - We strive to grow food that is more sustainable, equitable, ethical, and delicious.

Unlike many producers who tap maple trees in different locations on their property, Jim and Donna have chosen to utilize only 3,000 taps on 45 contiguous acres on a unique geological and historical site. Wayeeses Farm was a boy’s camp in the pre-World War II era, and extant camp buildings remain in the area. Camp advertising materials describe it as a “320 acres of timberland . . . nestled between Mount Elon and Seymour Lake”. The unique soil profile created by the intersection of Seymour Lake, which has low nutrient levels, and the nutrient dense snow run off from the mountain provides their syrup with an unmatched “single terroir” taste profile. Although Jim is the fourth generation of his family to produce syrup in Morgan, Vermont, he did not initially follow in the family footsteps. As a young man, he was a commercial fisherman in Alaska. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6035426566874c2d17c26268/bbd2a083-1d69-48c9-b1f2-60ccab9c130f/Buck_Mountain_Maple_Matt_Evaporator.jpg Maple - Buck Mountain Maple Buck Mountain Maple has been producing high quality maple syrup since 2000. After a 5 year search for the right piece of land, in 1999 Matt Gedeon purchased Buck Mountain, in northern Vermont. His passion for the land and his background in natural resource management combined with his diverse farming and sugar-making experience, led to his vision to build a long-term sustainable business based on Maple. Matt and his wife Gwyneth Flack began mapping out, designing and building the 300+ acre Buck Mountain Maple sugaring operation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6035426566874c2d17c26268/0f5f641a-97a4-44c2-985f-f8dcea8b35a5/Buck_Mountain_Maple_Logs_Gwyneth.jpg Maple “The key to purely delicious Buck Mountain Maple Syrup is in the stewarding, location and management of the Sugarbush. Preserving the mountain’s nutrient rich soil supports the growth of healthy Maple trees, producing high-quality organic sap. The high heat generated by the wood fired arch then caramelizes the sap creating exceptional flavor characteristics. Syrup is truly a gift from the trees and a precious commodity.” – Matt and Gwyneth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6035426566874c2d17c26268/04246f56-491a-4b6c-849b-a8a5975afb76/Maple+Mountain+Sugarhouse18.jpg Maple - Maple Mountain Sugarhouse For more than 30 years, Lyman Gilman has painstakingly refined his labor of love: creating delicious, organic Vermont maple syrup. As Lyman describes it, he “caught the bug” quickly after creating the first batch of Maple Mountain syrup back in 1991, and the prolific sugarmaker never looked back. Now, Maple Mountain Sugarhouse is proud to offer our hand-crafted, always wood-fired, maple syrup to a wider audience around the country. Whether it’s your first time trying “the real thing,” or you’ve had your share of Vermont syrups in the past, you are sure to love the 100% organic maple syrup that they create in their magical corner of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom.

Kingdom Maple was started over 40 years ago by longtime Albany residents Jim and Sue Richardson. It's run today by two families–working alongside Jim and Sue are new partners Adam Crafts and Jessica McNally. In 2020, the Richardsons decided they wanted to begin the transition out of the business. When they were ready to sell the business. Adam and Jessica reached an agreement to begin a phased purchase of the business, with Jim and Sue continuing to provide guidance and mentorship. Adam and Jessica hope to be sole owners of the maple business someday soon but value the relationship and partnership with the Richarsons in the meantime. Adam and Jessica–also no strangers to the Northeast Kingdom–live just down the road from the sugaring operation in Albany. Adam brings his logging and forest management experience to the work, but he and Jess also raise cows, sheep, chickens and pigs. They continue to grow the maple farm, leasing two other properties with a combined 4500 taps. They manage the farm with the help of their kids including their 16-year-old Parsons They hope to produce maple candies, maple cream, and baked goods in the future, while also continuing to grow their other farm enterprises. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6035426566874c2d17c26268/3f9ebdb5-1181-4029-bce8-af1c7e4fb4cd/VCF-050715-0298.jpg Maple - Center for an Agricultural Economy CAE is a food systems hub in Hardwick, VT whose reach extends statewide and beyond.
