They called it "Sinzibukwud"
The Morse ancestors who helped settle Central Vermont were taught how to tap maple trees by Native Americans. Hot Rocks were used to evaporate the sweet sap until only sugar or "sinzibukwud" remained. Pioneers could boil a year's supply of sugar thus making Americans self-sufficient in sugar production. Ben Franklin promoted massive sugar production in the Northeast to make the country less dependant on "foreign" sugar.

Maple Syrup, Kettle Corn, Ham and Cheeses, and lots, lots, more.


For seven generations the morse family has been turning maple sap into Vermont's finest syrup. The sugar house and Vermont gift shop just north of Montpelier manages miles of tubing that have replaced thousands of sap buckets. The intense process of boiling 40 gallons of sap into one gallon of syrup takes place during just a few weeks in late winter.

However, the Sugar Works is open year-round serving up tours of the sugar house, a video of the sugaring process, and a variety of Vermont products. Produce is available in season, and pumpkins and Christmas trees highlight the holiday season.

Syrup, jams, jellies, and cheeses are shipped nationwide throughout the year and are a favorite during the holidays.
