Round Mountain Sugar House - Northfield, Massachusetts - Since 1990

Round Mountain Sugarhouse is a small family owned business which began in 1990 with 3 taps, collecting sap into milk jugs and soda bottles. The following year we had a dozen real sap buckets and maple sugaring in our blood. In 1993 a hundred more buckets and taps were added and our growth never stopped. In 1998 we built a sugar house and added a 3ft x 10ft evaporator and added sap lines bringing our total tap count up to 800. By 2003 we had upgraded to our current evaporator, a 4ft x12ft CDL with forced air and by 2005 our tap count was up to 1500.

Today we use a vacuum pump and a CDL 600 reverse osmosis machine to more efficiently produce top grade maple syrup. Our tap count grows every year, with over 3000 taps this year. We have 3,000 gallons sap storage capacity, a 1000 gallon tank in the sugar house for concentrate storage, and a 300 gallon tank that feeds the evaporator. Depending on each year's sweetness level, it takes roughly 40 gallons of sugar maple sap to boil down to one gallon of pure maple syrup.

Our sugar house is located on our family farm property where we also raise oxen and other agricultural endeavors. We cut our own cordwood from our property which we still use to boil the sap. We are continue to grow and expand with added products. Maple candy and maple cream will soon join our product lines.

Our crew consists of family and friends, all dedicated to producing the highest quality maple products, and we thank you for being or becoming a Round Mountain Sugar House customer.
