Maple Syrup
The Bogie Mountain Sugar Shack stands as a testament to five generations of unwavering dedication and hard work, continuing to thrive as both an operating dairy farm and maple production facility. Run by Calvin "Sherm" Bogie Jr. and his wife Darlene, this spectacular piece of property has captured the hearts and cameras of visitors for decades, with its iconic image appearing on everything from jigsaw puzzles to the pages of Vermont Life and Outdoor Photographer magazines.
The farm's remarkable history traces back to Robert Blair, a Scottish immigrant who settled the original property as one of Barnet's earliest settlers in 1784. The land remained in the Blair family for generations until 1950, when Sherm's father purchased it and established what would become Bogie Mountain LLC in 1951. Despite humble beginnings without running water or indoor plumbing, the farm has grown into one of New England's most photographed agricultural destinations, earning the prestigious Dairy of Distinction award and gracing the covers of Ideal and Yankee magazines.
Today, Sherm has transformed his father's maple syrup operation into an expansive venture that explores the endless possibilities of maple-flavored products, from brittles and rubs to spices and nuts. With the dedicated support of the family's sons, grandsons, and close friends, the Bogie Mountain Sugar Shack ensures that this cherished farm will continue producing exceptional maple products for generations to come, maintaining its reputation for creating the finest maple offerings in the region.
