The Carman Brook Maple Farm attracts visitors year round from around the world. The Self-Guided Tour Brochure walks you through the dairy barn while giving you interesting facts about how animals are cared for and milk is produced.  The family members and employees you meet on the farm are more than happy to answer your questions and share a view into their livelihood.

The dairy barn is the ultimate in cow comfort. The bovines are the envy of their peers with cow air-conditioning, waterbed mattresses and tiled feed alley. The Nursery is full of attention seeking calves. From newborn to six months, these babies get lots of TLC.

The Fortin family began dairy farming on the Fortin Road in Highgate Springs, Vermont, in 1911. Five generations later the family continues farming combining the traditional farming values and lifestyles with today's labor efficient technology. 

The sugarhouse is open year round. Enjoy the maple flavors and aromas coming from our family owned and operated Vermont Maple Sugarhouse. Where you can enjoy our family's tradition of making Vermont maple syrup.

A scheduled group tour with someone who lives and works on the farm is available for parties of 15 or more.  Call the sugarhouse at 1-888-84-MAPLE (6-2753) for rates and times.
