Did anyone Know?

July is National Baked Bean Month. Who knew? Baked beans are filling,healthy and low in fat. They are also best friends with hot dogs. They go every where together. Family Bar-B Q's and on a picnic, and of course home-made for a Sunday dinner. The reason you should be aware of this bean invasion is that it is also Morse Farms annual Bean-Hole-Bean supper on July 23rd at 5:30 til 7:30. We have all the fixings....Cole Slaw, Potato Salad, and of course the beans best friend the Hot Dog. We are open til 8:oo so you can get your creemee for dessert. See you soon.

Time to celebrate !!!

Another new baby has been added to Tom's growing herd. Even if he/she hasn't come close enough to get a look at. Also more new products have been added in the store and strawberries are flying out of here. Betsy is making home-made biscuits and we have whipped cream. Fourth of July sounds like a Strawberry Short Cake kind of day! Fast, easy, and yummy. Burr will be selling his famous Maple Kettle Corn on Sunday for the goings-on down in Montpelier, so stop by and say "Hi" and then come on up and take a look around. Don't forget your creemee. Happy 4th of July!

Another baby?

We now have three babies out in the field. All Moms seem to care for whoever comes along. I guess a form of " it takes a whole pasture to make a herd." They all seem to be doing well. The two older ones run, jump and play and the newest little one just takes another nap. Not ready for any cow games yet. Stop by, bring your camera, take a stroll thru the store and see all our new items. Don't forget to get a creemee before you go. Ahhhhh Summer!!!

Finally Summer !

The last few days have been HOT and we still are getting some pretty strong thunder storms but it really does look like summer has arrived. People are already complaining its too hot. Come on now, remember winter and the cold and snow you shoveled, and then this really bad rain and flooding? Hot weather is made for having a maple creemee. Kids love the maple sprinkles, they call it"maple dust". School will be out soon and families will be coming to visit our green state. Lots of them stop in here for their Pure Vermont Syrup and of course a maple creemee. So ask anyone where to get a great maple creemee and they will direct you to the Morse Farm. See you soon.

Have you herd!

We now have two new babies out in the fields. The first one was born around Memorial Day I think because when I first saw it, he/she was already running around and jumping and kicking up his heels. So cute! The newest arrival was out there this morning with mom. Tom's herd is growing again. Stop by and get a maple creemee or a float and see if you can spot the new kids of the pasture. Nice views from our decks. See you soon.

Summer?

Summer is here for the most part. Still quite cool and real rainy. The black flies and mostquitos are really having a great time with all the wet weather. Even with the not so perfect weather guests are arriving from all kinds of places and are enjoying our beautiful views and green state. Schools will be out soon and our creemee lines will be long but we are fast and can get you on your way quickly. Stop by and see whats new and enjoy our porch with a view.

Spring at last

Spring has finally sprung.....Rain,rain, and more rain. One week of sunshine and right back to more rain. Lawns and flowers love it but the sun isn't out long enough to keep up with the grass and the weeds. The mud has dried up...pretty much and people and buses have started coming to the Morse Farm to visit us. We have five buses this week and three more coming in next week. They will be looking for their Sugar-on-Snow and creemees, and other new this spring items that will catch their eye. We still have bulk syrup for our locals, grass-fed beef and of course Maple Kettle corn. Stop by with your guests and take a look at whats new. Don't forget to stop and smell the flowers and fresh cut grass. Happy Spring!

Finally some sun.

Spring has been a wet....long time coming,but now and then we actually get to see a little sonshine. When the ducks don't swim in our pond and use the lawn for floating around, that's when you know there has been way too much rain! The sugar house has been cleaned up from the busy season and we are ready for our busy summer tourist season. Our store hours are longer so you can get in here to get your Maple creemees and other goodies. Grade B syrup is on sale and the grass fed beef is 20% off except for the ground beef. So stop up and take a look around, new products arriving daily.

Seasons End

Looks like sugaring season is coming to an end, but it sure has been a good and busy one. Some late nights of boiling to make room for the seeming never ending flo of sap. A sugar makers dream and nightmare all at the same time, not wanting to loose a drop of sap to make more of the liquid gold. All in all a great year. Stop by and get some of this years syrup! See you soon.

Winter? / Spring?

We just might catch a glimps of spring this weekend but we have been thinking that for weeks now. This weather sure is good for making maple syrup. We are having a real good year. Sometimes there is more sap than hours in the day to boil it all. People really enjoy the tails told in the sugarhouse. Stop in if you see the steam still rolling out late at night, Burr or Tom would welcome some one to talk to, it helps to keep them awake.

Finally Fancy

Well the week of cold weather worked----Burr is making Fancy and he his real happy. All sugar makers like to make Fancy grade syrup. The big April Fools Day snow storm seems to have missed us a little, but I'm sure we will still get some, we always do. So the sugaring continues. This may end up being a nice long season.

Too cold for the flow

Even though we had almost two solid weeks of sap flow,now Mother Nature has thrown us a curve ball and it never gets quite warm enough to let the sap run. Every day the weather says it will be a little bit warmer......we're still waiting! We have made Medium and Grade A Dark syrup so maybe this cold spell will bring on the Fancy syrup. That would be great. The robins and red-winged black birds are back and the back roads are a mess so lets have sugaring season --- again.

Sugar Snow

We have been boiling sap every day since March 13th the day it began. Wow, does it seem good to have the air filled with that wonderful steamy smell of sap slowly turning to Maple Syrup. YUM!! Yesterday and today we've had rain, sleet, and snow. Elliott says it's sugar snow. Lots of folks came to the Maple Open House weekend, Parked any where they could squeeze in and up and down the road. Even Burr's dooryard became parking some times. Had a great tour out. Thanks to all who came to see us. Stop up to the sugar house, Burr would love to visit with you. Happy Spring!

Four days and counting

Today is Wednesday and the fourth day in a row we have been boiling. What a great week, and by the looks of the weather this great sugaring streak will continue. We have been pretty busy the last couple of days, locals and tourists alike see the steam and have to stop for a look. We have some Grade A Dark Amber syrup already canned if you just can't wait for 2011 maple goodness. PLease stop by.

A beautiful sight

Burr boiled a little over the weekend and today as early as 10:00 the steam is pouring out of the sugar house. What a wonderful sight. Finally this week looks pretty good for sugaring and the men will be hard at work making some of the best you can eat, Pure Vermont Maple Syrup. Maple Open House weekend is this coming weekend so hopefully we will be boiling both days to the enjoyment of the many folks who stop in to see how its done. Happy Sugar Season!

Spring Specials

We still have bulk grade syrup and just in, Maple cotton candy. Grade B syrup in all sizes is on special with 10% off. Always fresh maple candy and maple kettle corn,so good. What a sweet place to visit. Maple Open House weekend is next week on March 19 and 20th. Pancake breakfast sat. and hotdogs and eggs boiled in sap Sun. Don't miss it.

Where is spring.

This has seemed like a really long winter this year. Just can't wait for the steam to come pouring out of the sugar house. Of course we usually have one person stop and tell us our barn is on fire, but explain to them what's happening and they seem to be interested and go up to have a look. Rain is in the forcast so it's going to warm up and hopefully freeze at night again so we can get started. Folks love to come watch the process even though they have seen it many times before.. tradition. Stop by for a creemee or Sugar-on-Snow this weekend maybe, just maybe we will be sugaring and Burr will be in his glory. Tom will keep the loads of sap coming and we'll be in business!

Rumor has it.

Well the rumor around the sugar woods is that there has been some sap running around in the sugar woods. I don't think we have seen that here at the Morse Farm but possibly this week-end we may get that sap to run! Sugaring is serious business but if you can't make fun of a tap thats a drip what can you make fun of. Hope you can all get to see the saps and drips here soon. MAPLE TIME!!!!!

Why be normal.

Talking about the weather. If we had normal weather we'd be like Florida or some other state that has predictable weather. Sun most days with a quick thunder shower once in a while,back to sunshine....normal. Unlike Vermont where one day it's sunny and nice, the next day you get three feet of snow! Today sunny again. Makes us wonder whats next. Now thats weather. Still waiting for our sugaring season to begin maybe this weekend...... all depends on the weather. We have s-o-s on Friday,Saturday, and Sundays and chocolate creemees are back. Hopefully we will have the sugar house steaming things up around here soon. Stop by and see us.

Crazy Weather

Today we've had sleet,rain,snow and it just keeps coming down. You look outside and it's pouring rain..... ten minutes later it's snow and then freezing rain again. I guess March is supposed to come in like a lion and go out like a lamb, at least thats what the saying is. I think we may be a day off with the lion thing. I hope. We need sugaring weather. We are all tapped and ready to FLOW! Sugar-On-Snow starts this Friday.... Noon til Four. See you soon.
