About the Farm

The Corse Family has worked their farm since 1868. They have annual Maple Syrup production records posted in the sugarhouse beginning with the 1918 season. Currently CORSE MAPLE FARM is owned and operated by Roy & Vanessa Corse.

It takes 12,000 or so taps to produce an annual crop of 4000 gallons of pure Vermont maple syrup. In order to produce this quantity of maple syrup, sap is collected from maple trees growing on our property as well as trees owned by other family members, friends, and neighbors. Some of these properties are adjacent to our farm and several are at other locations throughout the town of Whitingham VT. We are very grateful to all these landowners for trusting us with the use of their property. Without the use of their maple trees we could not carry on the tradition.

We use a combination of time tested methods and time saving innovations to supply high quality maple syrup at an affordable price. Some of the sap is gathered in buckets and we also collect sap via a vacuum tubing system. We concentrate the sugar content of sap by removing water through reverse osmosis filtration prior to collecting sap boiling over a wood fire. Producing our annual crop of maple syrup is a very labor intensive process and we depend heavily on the help of one full time employee, one full time seasonal worker, and several part time workers during the springtime season as needed. The hard work of maple production is a labor of love for these folks who seem to enjoy the annual camaraderie, excitement and challenge of producing a successful crop. For many of these people maple sugaring was also a tradition their ancestors depended on and enjoyed.

This is what it takes to make one gallon of pure Vermont maple syrup.

It takes four maple trees, at least 40 years old, growing in the mountain “sugarbush” to yield enough sap in the annual six-week season to produce one gallon of maple syrup.
woods
It takes a “gathering crew” to work in the “sugarbush” daily during March and April, often walking through deep snow while wearing snowshoes, to collect the fresh sap and transport it to the sugarhouse.
sledIt takes a four-foot log sawed, split, dried and burned in a raging fire to produce enough heat in the “arch” under the evaporator to create the evaporation which will concentrate 40 gallons of maple sap into one gallon of pure maple syrup.

ONLY ONE GALLON!

It takes members of the sugarmaker’s family, as well as other help when required, to continually fire the arch, operate the evaporator, filter, grade, and pack each gallon of syrup.
SO—if you had to cut the wood, tap the trees, work the “sugarbush,” transport the sap, stoke the fires and pack the syrup to comply with the nation’s only strictly enforced maple laws, how much would you ask for a gallon of syrup?
