About Barred Woods Maple

Barred Woods was founded as a collaborative partnership among four friends who share a passion for Vermont, making maple syrup, and preserving our forests. We produce, package, market and sell maple syrup and maple products. Our company values are centered on producing the best tasting, healthiest maple products available, protecting and preserving our Northern Forest, and supporting the local community we live and work in. Our sugarbush is located on 1300 pristine acres in the Green Mountains of Northern Vermont. We are certified organic by the Northeast Organic Farming Association, certified Bird Friendly by Vermont Audubon, our land is protected from development through the Vermont Land Trust, and we are managing our forest to maximize carbon capture and are monitored by the American Carbon Registry (ACR). Our name came to us from a chance encounter with a large barred owl while enjoying a walk through our Underhill sugarbush. She studied us from a tall spruce tree, and tolerated our questioning of "who cooks for you?". Taking this as a good omen, we named her Emma in honor of the woman who had once owned this beautiful parcel of land. Thus our company name Barred Woods was born, with Emma as our matriarch. We are very passionate about producing the best tasting and highest quality maple syrup possible. Our goal is to grow our maple syrup and other maple product offerings while being good stewards of the land and having a positive impact on the local economy.Read their story
