South Vermont News

This time of year Vermont’s landscape is dotted with sugarhouses in full swing. Smoke and evaporated sap billowing out of their roofs. The sweet smell of maple in the air. It’s a tradition that spans hundreds of years. Pancake sauce, liquid gold – it doesn’t really matter what you call it, maple syrup is the sticky, sweet, golden goodness that makes Vermont’s winters so special and regardless of name, it’s delicious! It all starts in late winter when the temperatures freeze at night but thaw during the day. That allows the sap in maple trees to flow out of a spout into a collection site where it’s boiled down to maple syrup. 

Dorset is home to several maple syrup producers as well as several great places to purchase it. Be sure to check out the link to read the latest blog post on Maple Madness- where it’s being made, where to buy it, where to learn more through open houses and workshops.
