Update: the season is well under way and we are having a wonderful crop coming in. We have been boiling 3 weeks straight now, the season broke early and we luckily were ready. Our crews were out tapping in mid February and we have made as of 3/19/2010 over 4,000 gallons of syrup. The season looks good for continued sugaring weather! Call ahead if you plan to visit to see when we are boiling.
Greetings to all our wonderful customers and friends from all of us at Goodrich's Maple Farm! We have had a lot of changes here at the sugarhouse and these are just a few: We have expanded this year with a 16x72' addition, 2 levels, to the sugarhouse. This gives us a 16x72' bulk syrup storage room, new shipping & receiving area, a huge conference room, pan washing area, and expanded our equipment sales room by 50%. We will be tapping 33,000 this year. For sugarmakers, join us for our annual open house which will be a bit earlier this year on April 23rd and 24th. Check out the open house schedule for the many interesing classes. We may still be boiling then, which you will find most interesting.
On a personal note, Glenn & Ruth have moved from the Mack Mt. home where they have lived for over 30 years. Now right next door, it is nice to walk to work. Adding to the sugaring, they still build post & beam houses & sugarhouses, mow roadsides for the State of Vermont, and dabble in excavation and custom farm work. 2 grandchildren have joined the family, a boy and a girl. For those of you keeping track of our girls, Michelle & her husband Fred own their own business - custom farm work. They raise beef, pigs, goats & chickens as well, and have a lovely daughter. Jean is a licensed massage therapist. Sarah is out of the military now and lives in upper Michigan with her husband Josh and 2 year old son.
