Roy's Maples, a family operation for more than 60 years, is located in northern Vermont near the Canadian border. We meet the strictest standards when making our quality products. We are inspected by the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets and receive a food safety certificate. Our syrup is also certified organic by NOFA. During the early years gathering sap was done with a horse and sleigh! Today, over 4500 trees are being tapped with plastic lines running from the trees to the sugaring house. Our farm consists of large tracts of maple trees. Until recently, we operated a dairy farm consisting of 275 head of Holsteins of which 124 were milked twice a day. The cows are gone and we now devote all their attention to the maple business. |
