Certified Organic Maple Syrup

The farm’s main crop is between 600 and 1,000 gallons of Baystate Organic Certifiers Certified Organic Pure Maple Syrup. Syrup is produced each year from sap collected from 4000 taps and boiled to perfection in the farm’s 5′ x 14′, wood-fired evaporator in sugar house we built in 1986. The farm’s maple trees have long been known in town for producing high quality syrup with outstanding flavor. In years when production is off due to weather or other causes, we will sometimes need to purchase syrup from other local producers. Whenever this happens, we emphasize buying only excellent-flavored, Certified Organic syrup  produced in the U.S.A. as close to our farm as possible.

Norma Coli, a participant in the CISA Local Hero promotion, displays syrup sizes.

During the  maple production season, Norma and I oversee all of the sugaring set up, boiling, and cleanup, including washing all of our miles of maple tubing to maximize cleanliness and sap quality. Norma is one of the very few full-time female sugar makers in the state, and is our primary taste tester when we need to buy syrup. Now that Bill is fully retired from UMass, he and Norma focus year-round on packaging and delivering syrup  to our major retail outlets. During the production season, a crew we have worked with for several seasons help us with all aspects of the work.
