MAPLE SUGARING... WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Bill’s Lakeshore Maples is the producer of pure, all natural Vermont maple syrup.  They produce this golden sweetness from Bill’s and Joanne’s sugarhouse overlooking Lake Memphremagog in Newport, Vermont. Their sugar bushes are located along Lake Seymour in Morgan and Lake Memphremagog in Newport.

Bill’s love for maple syrup started back in the 1960’s on his father’s farm in Holland, Vermont. It is his love of the woods and the taste of the pure delicious syrup that drives his passion. Sugar makers have a long standing joke that once this sugar making desire is in your blood, it is there forever!  Maple producers are known to work long hours and are driven to make syrup for the season lasts for only a few weeks.

Joanne’s love dates back to her childhood when her parents gathered sap the old fashioned way with horses and boiled sap in a sugar house with no electricity in Troy, Vermont.  Her job was to take buckets off the trees and pour the sap into a storage tank.

Sugaring at Bill’s Lakeshore Maples is a time when family and friends gather and help make this delicious Vermont product.  They continue to grow the business by selling syrup in bulk, as well as in individual containers.
