After
sugaring for many years on the Sprague Farm in Whitingham,
Marty, Karen, and Son Rod agreed to host part of the 1992
Vermont Maplerama Tour. The Farms' being located in the woods
and off the beaten trail while very functional, was not accessible
to the public. Having enjoyed involvement in the Maplerama,
the Spragues decided to build a new sugar house on a well
traveled road and opening for the public to enjoy.
A
recycled church building, native Vermont lumber, tons of concrete,
and the help of family and friends led to the dream becoming
a reality along Route 100.
Rodney
Sprague, now 19, is the 6th generation of Spragues to learn
the age old art of making pure Vermont Maple Syrup.
In
addition to pure maple syrup, the Spragues also hand make
maple sugar candies, pure maple spread, pure maple granulated
sugar, and pure maple crunchies.
