WELCOME TO FRENCH HILL FARMS!

     Located in St. Albans, home of the Vermont famous Maple Festival, French Hill Farms is a state of the art maple sugaring operation.  The operation is owned by Tom Hungerford & family, and the smoke stack can be seen churning every spring.  It is located just off route 105, about 2 miles up French Hill Road on the right.  Work on the sugaring farm occurs year round, adding more taps and improving the grove.  We are also proud to be a part of the Vermont Maple Festival sugarhouse tours.  Contact Tom Hungerford at 524-9100 for more information, maple products, and pure Vermont maple syrup orders!

     Off-season duties are in full swing at the sugar woods.  The woodpile is fully loaded and ready for next season, and the woods are being maintained.  In addition, wildlife abounds at French Hill!  Take a look at some of the sights to be found in the sugar woods.

SPRING SUGARING IS HERE!

March 26, 2008

     It's finally spring, although the snow has yet to leave.  The sugar house was at full steam tonight, with many guests.  Of particular note, Barb made some great dinner, and Donna made one of her famous maple desserts!  Also pictured is Merrill's famous JDOMASH plate and some sap run notes.  This weekend there are a series of tours of the sugar house so stay tuned!

ENERGIZER SUGARING!

March 7, 2008

     The crew from Energizer came up to the sugar house to join the Hungerford family boiling on Friday night.  This was the second boil of the year, the first coming on Tuesday March 4th.  For several, this was their first experience in a sugar house, coming from all over the country.  Merrill supervised, and Barb made some fantastic Chili!

READY FOR SPRING!

February 17, 2008

     Tom & Jim Hungerford, along with RJ Branon, were in the woods clearing fallen lines from the winter.  I went up in the woods, and walked all of lines 1 & 2, but missed them as they were working on line 3.  Warm weather is coming soon, and the season will be starting up, stay tuned this spring for more news!
