VT ASQ Presents a Free Tour: Maple Syrup Production: From Tap to Bottle - Sherman Hollow Organic Far

Ever wonder how all that sweet liquid gold we call maple syrup comes to be in the spring?


Well, the season has kicked-in for 2022 and we have arranged for an exclusive tour and “tasting on waffles” of maple syrup at a local sugaring operation. Try their unique Bourbon Barrel Aged Maple syrup.


Sherman Hollow Organic Farm is located on 42 acres in the Northeast corner of Hinesburg Vermont. It is a small-scale producer of high-quality maple as well as honey products and flowers for Tigri Flowers Co.
