In the late winter of 2006, Woodville Maples began as a simple backyard hobby when the owners decided to make maple syrup from the many sugar maple trees in their yard. Starting with just ten taps and boiling over an open fire outside, what began as casual experimentation quickly transformed into a passionate obsession that would reshape their lives and property.
As their dedication deepened, so did their operation. The family built a dedicated sugarhouse and expanded from those initial ten taps to over 300, while transitioning from their rudimentary outdoor fire to a proper 2'x6' evaporator, though they maintained their commitment to wood-fired boiling. Located in the village of Woodville within Hopkinton, Massachusetts, they tap their trees each February depending on weather conditions and collect sap daily, mostly by hand, understanding that between 40 and 60 gallons of sap must be boiled down to produce just one gallon of pure maple syrup.
The farm's mission extends beyond their own production as they actively help others get started in maple sugaring in their own backyards, sharing their knowledge and passion with the community. In 2012, they expanded their agricultural pursuits by starting beekeeping, adding raw honey to their product offerings. Today, they sell their syrup locally through porch pickups by appointment and at farmers markets, proud members of both the Massachusetts Maple Producers Association and the Worcester County Beekeepers Association, committed to the labor-intensive but rewarding process that makes every taste worthwhile.
