The Franklin Farm is a certified organic family farm nestled in the southern Vermont town of Guilford, where traditions run deep and the land tells stories of generations past. Back when David's father Bill Franklin was growing up on this very property, the rhythm of farm life was different yet remarkably similar to today, with hearty pancakes served every morning at breakfast, most often drizzled with the farm's own maple syrup, and sometimes topped with leftover gravy from the previous night's supper.

Today, the farm continues this legacy of wholesome, authentic food production in their wood-fired sugarhouse, where they craft 100% pure Vermont maple syrup that customers praise as the best they've ever tasted. The farm specializes in their most popular grade, Amber with Rich Flavor, though they offer multiple grades to satisfy different palates. Their commitment to quality extends beyond maple syrup to include certified organic hamburger and stew meat, along with farm fresh eggs.

The daily rhythm of farm life continues with the ancient cadence of morning and evening chores, as alarm clocks announce the arrival of 4:30 am and farmers head out to the barn by 5 o'clock to rouse the cows from their beds for milking. During the stillness of winter days, this twice-daily ritual punctuates the quiet, and as sugaring season arrives each year, the Franklin family knows that each season will be different from the last, with the trees offering their own unique gifts. The farm maintains a welcoming presence through their farm store, open seven days a week, where visitors can purchase their products and connect with this authentic piece of Vermont's agricultural heritage.
