Updated 1/29/2024.
Nestled on a hilltop just 2.7 miles outside of Montpelier, Vermont (the smallest state capital in the USA) – Morse Farm is a throwback to a simpler, quieter time when generations of the same family worked together to carve out a living on the land.
A visit to Morse Farm can include viewing an entertaining and informative sugarmaking video presentation by Burr Morse as well as visiting the sugarhouse. Visiting Vermont during sugaring season – roughly speaking, between Valentine’s Day and Tax Day? The Morse Farm sugarhouse is open to the public. Visitors can walk the ‘maple trail’ winding through the sugarbush and visit Rex and James, the Morse Farm goats. Pieces of folk art and antique farm implements can be found throughout the property.
The Morse Farm store is always well stocked with maple products as well an assortment of Vermont specialty foods and gifts.
Finally, no visit would be complete without trying our renowned maple creemee (described as “an exceptional maple creemee” by New England Travel Today), made with copious amounts of Morse Farm maple syrup. Please note, Morse Farm Maple Creemees are available year-round, we think creemees are always in season, and if you want a creemee, even in the cold dark heart of the Vermont winter, please ‘do drop in’.
Our hours vary with the seasons, but we are always open 7 days a week.

Burr Morse
“Burr Morse is something of an East Montpelier, Vermont renaissance man, an accomplished lifelong sugarmaker, but also a musician, writer, storyteller, artist and all-round raconteur.
Burr has carried on the Morse family tradition of sugarmaking, originally learning the art and science of sugaring from his father and grandfather. Apart from the farm, Burr is a musician, playing trombone with Vermont Philharmonic Orchestra, the Vermont National Guard’s 40th Army Band, and other groups. As a writer, Burr has contributed to the Barre Times-Argus, written three books, and regularly shares snippets of life on the farm via the Morse Farm newsletter. Finally, as a man of many talents, Burr’s chainsaw carvings and other folk art creations dot the farm grounds.”
