Title
Vermont Maple Syrup: Black Sheep Sugarhouse
Description
Rene and Kathy Desmarais are owners in a well-known Northeast Kingdom farm- and recreational-equipment business. Desmarais Equipment, of Orleans, Vermont, is an authorized dealer of such famous equipment lines as Massey Ferguson, Kubota, Polaris, Arctic Cat, and many more.
More than 15 years ago Rene and Kathy, along with their son, Andre, started Black Sheep Sugarhouse. Initially they purchased sap from several local producers, but after the first few years they made the decision to acquire their own orchard, or sugarbush. It consists of approximately 600 acres of fine sugar maple trees, which provide them with close to 10,000 taps, with potential for more.
Andre, along with his wife, Kim, and their three children, Jacob, Cassie, and Jeremy, all participate in this family business. An operation this size is a year-round commitment. And each year after the spring harvest is complete, the Desmarais family thoroughly cleans all of the equipment in the sugarhouse and the sugarbush, including all sap lines, holding tanks, and sugarhouse equipment.
