Sugaring wood for the 2027 season is DONE! This might be the earliest we’ve ever had wood neatly stacked away in the shed…we aren’t going to complain!

We currently have space to take on a few additional weekly milk customers. If you are interested in picking up fresh raw milk from the sugarhouse weekly please message us and we can send you more information! Thank you for supporting our small dairy!

Dear fantastic customers - we so appreciate your support of the sugarhouse! As we grow we do have some housekeeping we need to address however.

1) Please understand that when you visit the sugarhouse the business is located on a private residence. We expect you to be respectful of that and respect the privacy of the people who live there. If you have a question is NO need to go in search of someone to help you at the house or anywhere on the property; phone numbers for contact people are at both the sugarhouse and are available for Asa’s Small Engine Repair business.

2) Designated parking is in front of Asa’s shop. We will do better about signs in the future, but in the meantime please use the pull-in parking in front of the shop. If you have mobility issues you are welcome to park close to the sugarhouse but otherwise we ask to use the pull-in parking and not block the driveways as these are used by the people who live on the property. We’ve seen bikes left in the middle of the driveway and all kinds of various parking that blocks access or limits other customers from being able to park as well.

We really appreciate the support you give to the sugarhouse and we hope this helps things run smoother for the future! Thank you for being considerate.

Wood for the 2027 sugaring season is already started! We are about halfway done re-filling the woodshed. We love heating our evaporator in this sustainable way and the extra good flavor it gives to our maple syrup. A lot of the wood we put up is slab wood left over from sawing boards and miscellaneous wood from trimming trees in the sugarbushes or around our property.

Whew, ice cream season is here! Lindsay and the cows are doing their best to keep up with the ice cream demand at the sugarhouse, but you guys are giving us a run for our money! Thank you! Lots of coffee ice cream at the sugarhouse today, more flavors will be ready tomorrow. Stay cool!

Spring is the best time to try your hand at making your own butter. The creamy grass-fed milk has an extra-rich yellow color which makes beautiful, nutrient-rich butter 😍

🧈How: run to the sugarhouse and grab some raw grass-fed milk. Skim the cream off the top (use the skimmed milk for drinking or in baking) and put the cream into a stand mixer. With the whisk attachment whisk the cream until the butter separates from the buttermilk (*recommend putting a towel over the mixer for this step). Strain the butter from the buttermilk, then run the butter under water until the water is clear. Enjoy!

Plenty of general milk is available at the sugarhouse these days, so if you stop in you’ll probably find some! The ice cream freezer is well stocked with some of the best-for-you ice cream you’ll ever eat, made with raw grass fed milk and cream and our own maple syrup!

All of our other usual goodies are well stocked at the sugarhouse too including artwork by Gene Matras, maple syrup in plastic and glass containers, frozen beef products, and soap from The Sudsy Cow.

Open every Monday - Saturday from 9 AM - 6 PM. Thanks for your support!

We had a new baby calf born yesterday! Between an additional cow to milk and milk production already spiking with the cows back on grass for the summer, we are swimming in milk around here and loving it!

You can now find milk for general purchase at the sugarhouse just about every day, especially if you come in the morning. If you have been on our waiting list to be part of our weekly pickup program you will be hearing from us soon. And the ice cream freezer will be nicely restocked by the end of this week!

Talk about a super food - raw grass fed milk you can feel really good about. Thanks for your support of our small dairy!
