LaMothe's Sugar House
Our five-year-old grandson is visiting with us for the weekend and we thought he would enjoy visiting a maple sugaring house, so we went to Lamothe’s Sugar House in Burlington. We went on the tour, which consisted of seeing the evaporator and reverse osmosis device and hearing a detailed explanation of the maple syrup-making process. We also got samples of two different grades of their syrup, their strawberry-rhubarb jam, and maple oatmeal cookies. Our grandson also got a maple lollipop. Bob and I enjoyed the tour most; our grandson enjoyed the samples. We bought maple sugar candy for our son and his wife, a coloring book with the syrup-making process described, some maple cream to give away, and some jam and a couple maple caramels for us. Then we went outside to see the bunnies and two huge pigs. Our grandson had a good time, so we did too. (free admission, $43 for purchases). (Jan)
