Maple Syrup

About the Farm

Williams Farm Sugarhouse represents a remarkable five-generation legacy of maple syrup production that began in the mid-1800s when Milton Hubbard Williams first started tapping sugar maple trees. His meticulous diary entries from 1853 reveal the humble beginnings of what would become a thriving family tradition, recording everything from his first sugaring season in March to trading sugar for clothing in Amherst. By 1889, Milton was still actively producing syrup and documented his best week ever, gathering 20 barrels of sap for four successive days and selling 100 gallons of syrup at 30 cents a quart.

The tradition passed to Milton's son, Kenneth Sanderson Williams, who continued the family business when the original sugarhouse was one of thirteen operations located on Mount Toby in Sunderland. As success grew and the need for better retail access became apparent, Kenneth Jr. and his brother Milton made the strategic decision in the mid-1960s to relocate the sugarhouse from the mountain to the more accessible Route 47 in North Sunderland.

The Williams family's commitment to their craft led to their final move in 1994, when they built their current sugarhouse near their farm in Deerfield. Today, they continue producing 100% pure Massachusetts maple syrup in their family sugarhouse, maintaining the same dedication to quality that has defined their operation for over 170 years. The farm operates as both a production facility and restaurant, welcoming visitors to experience their time-honored traditions firsthand.
