A Visit to Solar Sweet Maple Farm
March 24, 2013

For Vermont’s annual Maple Open House Weekend, we decided to check out Solar Sweet Maple Farm in Lincoln.

Owned by Tom and Rhonda Gadhue, the farm is an energy-efficient sugaring operation. The Gadhue’s stunning sugarhouse is made from recycled and energy efficient materials (the main building was moved from Jamaica, Vermont to Lincoln). The sugarhouse is powered by solar energy and heated from wood that is harvested on the 200-acre property.

We’ve been going to Maple Open House Weekend for the past several years, and Solar Sweet Maple Farm offers an interesting, environmentally-focused twist that we haven’t seen before. Tom and Rhonda were great hosts and we hope to see them again!
