1180 Notch Road, Wenlow Falls
A sugarhouse at the end of the maple row
Ines and Walt Osterhaus have boiled sap on this land for nineteen seasons, in the same board-and-batten sugarhouse Walt's uncle built.
What we do
We tap about 1,400 maples: the old roadside row with buckets you can see from the car, and the woods behind it on tubing. The sap comes to the sugarhouse and goes straight into the pan.
Ines runs the window and the breakfast tables. Walt runs the evaporator and will tell you more about wood fires than you asked for. Their daughter Pia makes the candy and the cream in the kitchen behind the window.
What we ask of visitors
Park along the lane, not on the road. Keep to the plowed path near the sugarhouse door, where the steam makes the boards slippery. Dogs on a leash are welcome outside.
