Maple SugaringCraftsbury St. Johnsbury Westfield
Maple Sugaring season in the Northeast Kingdom typically lasts from four to six weeks, sometimes starting as early as late February and continuing into April. Conditions must be ideal: warm, sunny days with temperatures rising above 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) followed by freezing temperatures at night. Maple sugaring is a part of our heritage -- Vermont's Northeast Kingdom is home to the world's largest maple sugar candy producer as well as many smaller family-operated sugarhouses. Many sugarhouses are open year long to visitors.
Maple Open House Weekend, annually scheduled in late March, is a great way to learn more about Maple Sugaring. Visit the many Northeast Kingdom sugarhouses participating in this event to get a first-hand view (and maybe even taste!) of how authenic Vermont maple syrup is made.
The Vermont Maple Sugar Makers' Association is also a wonderful resource for those who want to learn more about Maple Sugaring.

Pure Vermont Maple Syrup! Atop Echo Hill Road in East Craftsbury, Vermont, our sugarhouse is nestled among hundreds of maple trees. In 2006, we increased our sugarbush from 1800 taps to almost 4000, employing the most advanced food grade technology. We pride ourselves in combining modern production with generations of tradition to produce 100% pure Vermont maple syrup. Our syrup carries the Vermont Seal of Quality and the Calderwood family name, your guarantee of the finest production techniques and maple flavor. You are welcome to visit us during sugaring season to smell the sweet sap boiling in our sugarhouse and see maple syrup being made.
They also rent a cabin on the property and you are welcome to help with the sugaring if you wish. Dogs allowed! Visit http://www.ne-vt.com/victoria to Victoria's Place, a charming three bedroom, two bath house located on the edge of our sugarwoods. Visit from early March to mid-April and if the trees cooperate, you are welcome to help us in the sugarhouse while we produce our high quality maple syrup. Enjoy snowshoeing, and skiing nearby, or just relax in a peaceful setting. Victoria's Place is available year round by the night, week, month or season.
