Sugar Bush Farm

Our farm year follows the seasons both with farm work and the schedule of work inside with visitors and mail order of our cheese and maple syrup business. We are open year round...January and February are the quietest months but we hear from many mail order customers. March and April are spent making maple syrup and shipping out the new crop to our customers. With over 100 head cattle to take care of, chores take many hours in the winter when the snow is deep and they all need to be kept snug in the barn. Late spring and summer are very busy at the farm with plowing, planting and cutting hay, and we get many visitors coming to the farm to learn about maple sugaring, to taste of cheeses and to enjoy our beautiful view and animals. Fall is the most beautiful time in Vermont with hundreds of people visiting each day, and many packages being shipped home. Farm work includes harvesting corn for winter cattle feed. November and December are very busy months with thousands of orders going out for the holidays, many folks coming to our farm store for the gifts, as well as getting all the farm buildings buttoned up for the cold winter.
