Many of Vermont's small family dairy farmers supplement their income by tapping their sugar maples in the spring. Highland Sugarworks is committed to purchasing from these local farms and bottles the best of the year's crop under the Family Farm label. This was a particularly good year for Vermont Fancy, a light amber delight that's rich yet delicate. Sustainable agriculture is critical to rural Vermont, and purchasing this syrup is not only a treat for the tongue, but a statement of commitment to family farming.

8oz bottle.  
"Great maple flavor, tastes real---their syrups have personality...The Guinness of Syrups."
— Cook's Illustrated Magazine, April 1998
We love sharing fabulous products from Vermont, the Green Mountain State. One of our favorite Vermont partners is Highland Sugarworks of Starksboro and Websterville, Vermont. Their scrumptious syrups and baking mixes have received high praise from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Fancy Food magazine, Vegetarian Times and many other publications.

This picture shows their Starksboro sugarhouse, where artisans follow traditional methods to boil maple sap into syrup. Highland Sugarworks collects sap from their 80-acre "sugarbush" or maple forest. Sap consists of mostly water and approximately 2% sugar. The water is boiled off until the sap becomes syrup (which is approximately 67% sugar). We Vermonters take our pure, organic maple syrup very, very seriously.
