Vermont Maple Magic | Bob & Lisa’s Maple Syrup | Bob Rivers Podcasts
Bob hosts a behind-the-scenes tour of his Vermont maple syrup operation as they prepare for their 10th season of production. Joined by author Steve Stockman and syrup maker Hank Prouty, the video showcases their small-batch, traditional approach to maple syrup production. They walk viewers through their sugar house, explaining their unique process using reverse osmosis and oil-fired evaporators, which helps create their distinctive flavor while maintaining traditional quality.
The operation taps about 400 trees across 10 acres of sugar bush, using modern vacuum technology to optimize sap collection while preserving tree health. The team proudly emphasizes their small-batch, single-farm approach, distinguishing their product from mass-produced syrups. Despite Bob moving away from the farm, he continues the tradition through a partnership with the property's new owners.
