About Wood's Syrup

Wood's Syrup started as a dream.... I had ALWAYS dreamed of being a maple syrup producer full-time but it wasn't something most of my friends and family considered a safe way to make a living. That led me to consider a teaching career as a student at Gordon College in Wenham, MA. I graduated 4 years later with a dual degree in Elementary and Middle School Education. While attending Gordon, I met and fell in love with Deborah Leigh Kiess, a sweet and joyful young woman from Dartmouth, MA. We fell fast for one another and knew within months, that we wanted to start and build a grand adventure together! We were married a year after graduation and began that grand adventure July 2,1994! I continued to teach for 5 years in western MA until I could no longer ignore my inner Entrepreneur… While teaching we purchased 2 newspaper distributorships and 2 rental properties. This allowed me to leave my teaching position and become a full-time entrepreneur.'s From there we moved back to Vermont to start Wood's VT Syrup Com specializing in flavored maple syrup and other yummie maple products.
