Wow, there was a lot to unpack in that video. My head is still spinning from hearing that they had been making syrup since 1620. Talk about some family history.
Oh Wow ! Watching this makes me crave some decent, fresh, maple syrop over some pancakes and in my freshly ground and brewed coffee with some heavy cream in it !!! 👌👌👌👌😃😃😃 YUMMM !!!
I need my dad or brother to watch this so they can get some tips on how to talk on camera! As it’s just not the same when your the tour guide and the camera person! 😂
@@MapleFarmer i wish they would get on camera Id love to learn of all the changes in production that have taken place sense I produced maple products in the early 80s back then maple syrup was sinful not healthy by the so called smart people
It February 15 and the saps been running for a couple of days. I live on the 45 the parallel in Michigan and in 50 years have never started this early.
Meet Glen at the NYS maple conference, 1st yr in Syracuse. Went to his seminar on high Brix/ high concentration, just for information and for laughs. Needless to say, we just finished our 4th season and made 180 gallons. Both you and Glen have made quite the investment. Really enjoy watching your new “shanty” come together. Thanks for sharing!!
We met Glenn this past January. He did a couple of great workshops at our Wisconsin Maple Syrup Producers Association Winter Institute. Enjoy your videos so much!!!!!
That is one very impressive operation. They are a prime example of proper prior planning and meticulous organization of the process. They also show how planning and organization does not take away the human personal working, they aren't robots is what I am saying
oouuu maple coffees! 🥰🍁☕️ sometimes.. I grind the cacao beans with the coffee bean then rock the maple with it oh my goodness totally learned a bunch watching this adventure 📚🐛 🙏
I always wondered what happened to Glenn and his Sugarbush. He made two videos the first two years he started this 6k acre project but hasn't posted anything since. I'm glad you went over there and made this video so we can see where he is with this project. Again great job Nikki and God bless you and your family.
This video gave me goosebumps!! I had no idea that Glenn was this big and I've never really heard of Goodrichs' back in my Vermont days in the 70s and 80s....not in Cabot anyway. I did meet Glenn about 4 years ago at the Cabot location while he was doing their tours for the public....very nice guy as well as his wife, Ruth. I can see the roof of their sugar house from my grandparents old house as well as my camp just up the road in Marshfield....I can also see the house from their sugar house as well lol. As for maple in coffee, I thought I was one of the only ones that did that! Lol I'll drink it no other way! With that said, I go through A LOT of maple syrup. Like a gallon a month!
Awesome vid, I used to help my uncle in the 60,s collect sap with a horse drawn sleigh, you are an inspiration to the maple producer's across the north American landscape. Keep up theses vids as they instill the concept of the American dream as result of Hard work .
Thank you so much for the kind words! I hope to visit a lot more sugar makers and showcase hobby makers to the worlds largest and everything in between!
@@MapleFarmer I await the additional content as you are the epidemy of the American dream of hard work produces Gaines beyond the norm of todays society
Not sure how I found your channel but I have enjoyed watching how this is done. I ordered a bottle that arrived so quickly and I took a few swigs and omg! It is the best maple syrup I have ever had! Thank you! Keep up the great videos.
@@MapleFarmer sweet tree, island pond vermont. I believe they are located in the old ethan allen plant up there. They are closing in on over 460k taps i guess now. You can look them up an decide. Idk if it would be as fun or personal like going to the goodrich sugar makers. Take care and ill look for the next video
Thanks for sharing! That’s a pretty big operation, there are several big operations in Vermont. From what I’ve heard this was a pretty good season! Don’t forget about the Vermont Maple Festival coming up this weekend in St.Albans Vermont! Have a good day. From Northwestern Vermont
In addition to being an inspirational and educational video, best part was your description of the benefits of maple sugar, I put maple syrup in my coffee today, it is now my go to sweetener!
Thanks for bringing us along! I love seeing/visiting various sugar shacks. If you’re ever in Maine, check out Hill Top Boilers in Newfield, ME., another wonderful operation. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks for tuning in! I’d love to tour a bunch of different places - if you know of any sugar makers who wouldn’t mind me touring and videoing their place let me know! Preferably north as Its tough to get away while our season is in progress.
Thank you for sharing, that is one very large operation! In the time it takes me to finish my first cup of coffee they make a couple barrels of syrup. That is insane.
Well, this is too funny. I'm sitting here eating a small piece of Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar cheese with my coffee. What's in the coffee? Maple Syrup and Hazelnut creamer. This operation, as to # of trees tapped, makes me wonder how many trees are tapped further North in VT on Rte 114 between Island Pond and Canaan. I pass miles and miles of lines all gravity fed to tanks along the hill sides. Awesome video!!!
do you follow New York Farm Girls? their family is a Cabot dairy farm. They also have a pumpkin patch with stuff that would taste yummy with delicious NY syrup.
At about 5mins in the video where does Glenn get the tri clamp sight glasses for that tank? I’ve been looking and looking and can’t find those anywhere.
Does the taste of Maple syrup vary much from different states and regions of states. Any difference between Canada syrup and USA syrup. How many USA states produce syrup? Back in late1970's I got a consumers education on maple syrup from a general store in Manchester, Vermont. I believe the owner was a transplanted business man from NYC. Love your enthusiasm!
Your team produces mapl syrup...Whee did you get the higher education you need for this job?A you an engineer?A technologist?Or....? I ❤Maple Syrup!!🥞👍👍👍😋
I’ve made maple syrup for the first time in my life and I loved the process. Of course it’s only for consumption but the concept is the same. Mine turned out much darker though. Is the production syrup still at 66 bricks?
Such a far cry from the sugaring operations of my youth. Buckets, wooden tomahawk tanks, boiling eggs and hot dogs in the pans heated by wood in the quiet of the sugar house. You should find an operation like that next spring to document as it is obviously a dying breed.
Yes I want! I wanted to this year but I don’t know any backyard hobby sugar makers! If there is one on here that wouldn’t mind me visiting please let me know!
Nikki, this tour reminds me of a question I've had but never have asked ( although it may have been answered in the past ) , approximately how many acres of woods are you using that contain the 30000 taps ?
@@MapleFarmer I thought I heard that but wondered if that water had even the slight bit of residual sugar it in. Guess not. Thanks. Fascinating videos on this channel.
Where is senator Bernie Sanders and Republican governor Scott our Canadian family and friends and relatives across Canada really like Vermont and the politicians in Vermont because they are not bought by big money donors and try to look after the people who put them in office
5x larger than our maple place 😮
But look How young you are! Lol you might be twice as big as him someday.
Why is DE added?

Thanks for letting us come along
Thanks for watching Jerry!
Another great video Nikki. Tell Warren this is how he should answer your questions……. LOL 😂
😂😂
Glenn is a great guy
Yes he is!
Thats how you give a sugar house tour thank you Glenn i greatly enjoyed your tour of your fantastic maple sugar house.

the bigger operations have more going on than the smaller ones

I’ll have to visit next year for another Glenn Update as he plans on adding on another 30,000 this year!
That has to be a huge savings when you can bring all the sap to the plant without trucking it. Thanks for showing this!
Thanks for stopping at Goodrich's! It is in our backyard here in VT. They put out excellent products.
Great interesting video as always , I thought I was the only one who puts Maple in my coffee it’s absolutely the best
the BEST!!!
Wow! Awesome tour! What an operation!
That was a fun tour!! Pure Maple Syrup...YUM!!! 🍁
Enjoyed the information. Thank you

Cool vid.
Thanks for watching!
That was awesome!
Thanks for tuning in Tony!
This was very cool, looking forward to your farm growing.
Might just have to move to Vermont so I can buy a mountain! Lol
Wow! Another a very informative video. It would be very interesting to see what happens to the syrup you produce once it leaves your facility.
I agree! I want to see if I can setup a video tour of one of the large packers/distributors we sell to!
AWESOME field trip today!
I would have enjoyed seeing a short tour of their maple forest.

🇺🇸 Wowzer, 150K tape that makes for a pile of trudging thru the snow for 5 +/- months 🤪😳🤣
I did not have any idea about that much maple syrup was being made per year. Thank You for sharing this with us 👍
Thanks for watching David!
Absolutely fascinating
Thank you!
WOW - what a setup. Imagine not having to trunk your syrup?
😯WOW
Do you know if they give tours like that at other times to other people to?
super
It would be neat to see how they do there taps
At about 5mins in the video where does Glenn get the tri clamp sight glasses for that tank? I’ve been looking and looking and can’t find those anywhere.

We appreciate you!!
Has anyone ever invented Maple Wine?
So with your new steam evaporator you’re running a hyper brix RO?
That size barrel is used due to the weight of the syrup?
How many gallons did you end up making this year? And how many gallons were made on your new steam pan?
Fing crazy
Pretty incredible!
@@MapleFarmer still be proud of your operation your grampa Hans wood be proud!
How concentrated is the sap before you boiled it?
10,000 gallons of syrup is 3 times more than
How many workers does it take to tap 150,000
@MapleFarmer What happens to the water from the RO?
It was noted in the video I believe. It is used for other tasks.
used to clean equipment and anything that needs cleaning!
@@MapleFarmer I thought I heard that but wondered if that water had even the slight bit of residual sugar it in. Guess not. Thanks. Fascinating videos on this channel.
Most operation s
I have 90 taps, lol.
So I have a question ,do u run sap all year long for this or only a few months ?
Only a few months. The season is usually sometime around January through the end of March
Interesting but nothing I can learn here to use in my 200 tap operation.
I worked in food processing plant ...we would have been in big trouble to be eating near a open product .
This is all bulk product and is reprocessed into other products and packaged for distribution.
Low on the glycemic index? That's hard to believe.
I think he might have meant to say “lower “ 54 G.I for maple vs glucose which is 100.
this shi+ is way to technical for me to understand but hey i am from Britain and i still do not get it
