The Twitchell Family
1103 Town Hill Road
The Twitchell Family has been a part of the Vermont sugarmaking tradition since 1956, when Grandpa Clyde Twitchell Sr. moved his farm here from Braintree, MA. Clyde started out with 5500 buckets that were gathered by horses, later to be gathers by bulldozer. In the late 70’s Clyde upgraded his operation to pipeline. Clyde retired in the early 90’s.
In 1996 David A. Twitchell, built a sugarhouse with wife Pamela, daughter Jessica and son David. The Twitchells get there sap from 360 taps (220 in pipeline and 140 buckets). The saps flows through the pipeline by gravity directly into the sugarhouse, and the buckets are gathered by farm tractor with the help of family members Dave’s wife Pamela daughter Jessica Son David his wife Melissa and the 4th generation their two sons Davey and Chase. The Twitchells boil there sap on a 30in by 8ft wood fired Leader evaporator.
Our way of sugaring still remains old fashion and the Twitchells invite you to visit there sugarhouse and taste what we refer to as liquid gold.
