| "I
grew up with a chain saw in my hands. Through the years,
I have found many interesting shapes in the trees while
cutting sugar wood. They now stand around our sugar
house as works of folk art. People sometimes call me
an artist but I say... I'm no artist, I'm just darned
good with a chain saw!" |

The
Morse Farm Woodshed Theater is a unique structure made
with walls of sugar wood. Inside, a humorous and educational
video plays about the Morse Farm maple process. It is
narrated by Harry I. Morse, Sr., the crusty sixth generation
Morse sugar maker and father to Burr. While in the theater,
relax on our maple stump seats, enjoy the show and look
at the artifacts. If you look close, you will find our
example of dogwood among the other labeled sugar woods.
Folks always leave with a smile.

Winter
means skiing,
sliding, snowmobiling and skating and stopping by the Morse's
for Vermont breakfast fixin's and delicious natural snacks to
enjoy around the fire.
|
Then
in March it's Sugarin' Time
when the Sugar
House is surrounded by a cloud of steam and visitors line up for
their annual taste of sugar on snow (hot maple sugar turned to
taffy when drizzled over shaved ice, served with a fresh donut).
|
Summer brings many visitors to Vermont
and Morse Farm goes all out hosting special craft and antique
fairs, and our farm stand offers the best of the region's fruits
and vegetables.
|
The
Foliage Season
lasts from about
Sept. 20th until Columbus Day in our area, and the views of the
autumn splendor from the Morse's hillside are spectacular. Enjoy
a real maple creemie and walk along our nature trail to get the
full effect.
