The Morse family has farmed in central Vermont for generations, carrying forward a tradition that spans over two centuries. Their current operation, Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks, was established in 1966 as a pioneering agritourism venture that continues to educate visitors about the time-honored process of making maple syrup.
The farm's origin story traces back to the mid-1960s when Harry Morse Sr. made the bold decision to transition from dairy farming to operating a sugaring operation and a small, rustic store focused on maple and Vermont products. His son, Harry "Burr" Jr., took over the reins and operated the business for nearly four decades, leaving his distinctive mark on the operation before retiring in 2022.
Today, Jake Shattuck, a Morse on his mother's side, serves as the third owner of this well-established Vermont family business. The farm offers visitors an authentic experience of Vermont's sugarmaking heritage, complete with multimedia displays in a real woodshed theater, a maple trail through their working forest, and a country store filled with fascinating objects that tell the story of their 200-year maple sugaring tradition.
