Loved getting to learn about all the ins and outs of making maple syrup from Robert! Would definitely love to come back and do some of the other experiences they offer at the Taft hill farm!

Robert and his team are very passionate about the artisan nature of maple sugaring and have the passion and knowledge to back it up. It doesn’t hurt that the products are delicious! I’m a native Vermonter and learned a lot. Very engaging for all!
