Frequently Asked Questions:
Can you really ship your glass containers?
Yes! We've actually found that they ship better than the plastic and tin containers.
Can I pick up my order?
Yes, all orders can be purchased directly from our sugarhouse during the season and
from our office the rest of the year.
Is our syrup organic?
It is not certified organic however, maple syrup is inherently organic. We do not add
anything to our syrup and take only water away. Maple Syrup is sap from a maple tree boiled
down to a thicker consistency. We do not use fertilizer or pesticides. We feel it is
ridiculous to pay to become certified organic, just so we can the organic
label on our bottles and in turn charge you more for the same product.
Can I visit the sugarhouse?
Yes, anytime we are boiling people are welcome. We ask that groups of people call first
so that we know to have enough staff (family members) around to provide an enjoyable
experience. We encourage groups to schedule a time and come visit. The sugarhouse
can be a dangerous place for children. We have a large wood fired evaporator and an
open front pan. This allows for classic sugaring charm and a great view of the boiling
process. However, with temperatures exceeding 400 degrees in areas, we ask that
children have adequate supervision inside the sugarhouse.
Can I check on an order status?
Yes, just send us an email and we will let you know the status of your order.
Marsha and Bill
At Burgess Sugarhouse we produce pure, all-natural Vermont Maple Syrup. We are a family run operation that was started by Bill's Grandparents in 1980, returning them to their roots in sugaring. The sugarhouse is now run by Bill and Marsha with the help of our two children and additional family and friends. We currently tap about 3000 maple trees. Our evaporator is fueled from wood we harvest from our sugarbush using sustainable forest practices.
