Documenting the Rise of Tech in Our Modern Sugarhouse

From reverse osmosis systems to vacuum tubing, the technology used to produce maple syrup is simply amazing. It's hard to believe that just a generation ago, we used buckets, horses, and stayed up all night feeding wood-fired boilers to make maple. As we pushed the technological limits of our industry, we've quickly come to understand the importance of a "connected"…

A Milestone Taps Into A Feeling Of Gratitude

100,000 Trees Tapped Given the overarching theme of Valentine’s Day, Tom Branon was exactly where he belonged on the afternoon of Feb. 14, 2026: in the Vermont sugarwoods he loves so deeply. For Tom, the patriarch here at Branon Family Maple Orchards, this Valentine’s Day was especially memorable. As the late-winter sun started its daily descent in the west, Tom…

My wife and I went to visit Vermont and our first stop was the Branon family maple orchards , Ms.Branon took the time to give us the grand tour , It was definitely the highlight of our trip , we purchased multiple items and enjoyed everyone with our family. I actually order on line now and get it shipped to our home . After having Branon maple syrup and the bar-b-que sauce nothing else can match up . We will return soon to visit them again one day , but for now it's awesome to know I can get it delivered till then , thank you and you family for all of your great products .

I bought some maple products and delivered them to my daughter in Kentucky! I made sure to get the maple buffalo and the Maple chipotle spice as well and made the dip for her family. We decided to experiment and we took boneless chicken breast and seared them on both sides with a little salt and pepper. Then put the dip on them and baked it in the oven for about 30 minutes. Took them out and put the cheese on them and then put them back in the oven under the broiler until the cheese was done and they were delicious! As a matter of fact so good, it was requested again for dinner! Great products and a great recipe!

The best place to buy maple syrup. The price is the most reasonable around, and the quality is top notch!
A Sweet Surprise: Visiting Branon Family Maple Orchards in Fairfield, VT

While staying in Burlington, Vermont, we found ourselves underwhelmed by the downtown experience—gritty streets, graffiti, and an uncomfortable number of panhandlers on Church Street left us searching for something more authentic and inviting. Strangely, despite asking around, no one seemed to know that just 35 minutes away lies St. Albans City—officially recognized as the Maple Syrup Capital of the World! After doing some of our own research, we made the short drive north and were blown away.

St. Albans turned out to be everything we were hoping for and more. The town is absolutely charming, with clean streets, friendly shopkeepers, and a sense of pride in local tradition. It was the kindhearted staff in several downtown shops who repeatedly told us, “You have to go visit the Branon Family Maple Orchards.” We’re so glad we listened.

Only 15 minutes from downtown St. Albans, the Branon Family Maple Orchards in Fairfield is a 5th-generation farmstead nestled among the rolling hills of Vermont maple country. When we pulled in, we were greeted by a man putting up a sign who smiled and told us to just drive on past the house and head to the store—“Someone will be right with you.” That someone turned out to be Kyle, son of the owners, who gave us one of the warmest welcomes we’ve ever experienced.

The maple store was a treasure trove—beautifully arranged with everything from traditional syrups to maple barbecue sauce, seasonings, candies, and gourmet creations we’d never seen before. Kyle patiently walked us through the offerings, sharing personal stories about the farm and how some of the products are named after his children (the sixth generation!)—a touching testament to their family legacy.

To our surprise and delight, Kyle then offered us a private tour of the sugarhouse and production facility. If you’re lucky enough to be offered this opportunity, take it without hesitation. His deep knowledge of the process, from tapping to evaporation and bottling, was fascinating. We left with a new appreciation for the science, sustainability, and sheer hard work behind every drop of their maple syrup.

Needless to say, we stocked up—probably enough maple products to last a year—and made a family decision right then and there: going forward, we’ll be ordering all our maple syrup from the Branons.

A special note: Kyle kept saying, “I wish my mom were here—she’s the one behind the amazing new products.” If this visit was any indication, the entire family is not only innovating but doing it with heart, heritage, and incredible hospitality.

Thank you, Kyle and the entire Branon family—you gave us the sweetest highlight of our Vermont trip, and a reason to return again and again.

We went for their open house and had a great time! My kids loved the tour and the samples. We walked away with some great products (especially love the maple cheddar popcorn, maple donuts, and maple hot chocolate). The staff was super friendly!
Top notch products and customer service! Household favorites include: maple cream, maple popcorn, maple seasoning, BBQ and Buffalo sauces, and maple cashews!

The best bbq sauce (Buffalo Sauce) goes to Branon’s from our family! We use it on everything! And the maple rub seasoning is excellent in scrambled eggs. Amazing family with an awesome product. 5 stars
I purchase maple gifts for Christmas every year and always have very happy and enthusiastic friends/family with the quality of the products, the beautiful presentation of the gift sets, the thoughtful pairing of maple and the warm and gracious smile from Cecile. Highly recommend for all your syrup needs!

Branon Family is beyond exceptional. I had the absolute
pleasure of touring their vacility and meeting them personally back in 2014. I learned so much and their products and recipes are delicious. Their maple syrup is the ONLY syrup I have used since and I will continue to order directly from Branon's. Highly recommend their products!!!!! Super nice family that produces the best Maple products!!!

Great maple products! I order a variety for my Aunt of 94 years, as she loves them, especially maple cream. Customer service is “above and beyond”. First product she opens is the maple popcorn. But the maple cream is on her toast every morning. I add a couple more items for her to taste, in her package of goodies. It’s the top of her “faves” for Holiday or Birthday gifts.

Great products! Even better service! Branon Family Maple Orchards are the best! Accept no substitute!
We've been delighted Branon Orchards customers for some time. Two big reasons: the top quality of Branon's syrup and that it's packed so well for the cross-country trip from Vermont to our house.
We recently placed our first "gift" order to be sent to close friends in the Midwest. There was a small glitch as to the sending addressee but Cecile Branon was on the case and made sure that the right people got the syrup. This was outstanding service and we and our gift recipient were impressed. More orders to follow!

Sweet products and sweet people! This family is so genuinely kind and friendly, and their maple products are so damn delicious! I almost broke my no-dairy-buying policy for their buffalo sauce 👀

And their maple sugar cream leaves are mouth wateringly tasty! They gave me a handful of free treats because it was my birthday(!!), and now I may just have to buy some myself! Mm!

The most authentic, flavorful syrup ever! My in laws brought back a sample of the rich amber maple syrup from their trip to New England. In a fun at home taste test, the Branon Maple syrup was so rich and smooth, while the organic grade A maple syrup we usually use tasted much like molasses and was somewhat acidic in comparison. I highly recommend replacing what’s in your ‘fridge with this.
