Vermont Maple Syrup:

Maple Farms and Sugarhouses

In Colonial New England, there wasn't much cane sugar, a tropical product.  So New Englanders got their sugar locally, from Vermont's abundance of maple trees.  The art of maple sugar extraction goes back several hundred years, and while most sugarhouses continue to use traditional methods -- boil, boil, and boil some more -- a few have adopted somewhat newer technologies. Any way you look at it, maple sugar is a signature gourmet product of the Vermont farm, and pretty delicious, too (I prefer fancy grade maple syrup, myself, but for cooking, you may want to consider amber).  Here are a few of the suigarhouses in Vermont ... we only listed ones that have web sites, so you can link to them.
