Thank you Jacob and Jenna for an absolutely incredible time! read more

Why would someone from California write review for Vermont maple syrup? Because it is different, unique, extraordinary any way they prepare and release their products. Infused. Amber basic. Even their ketchup. Baird creates little luxuries that enhance everything you use them for. Spoil yourself with the best. Like no maple product you have ever tasted! read more

This was by far the best tour we have ever been on. It doesnt matter what kind of tour it was, nothing compared. Short but detailed and extremely engaging. We are now maple connoisseurs, thanks to Jacob. Ask a lot of questions and gain more knowledge. 10/10 would go back. Thanks Jacob! Dan&Jenna NJ read more

Just received our second shipment of maple syrup from Baird Farm. We were looking online for a farm-sourced maple syrup that we could order, and my husband found Baird Farm. The syrup is delicious, and we feel good knowing that we're getting a high quality product. The enclosed personal hand-written note from Jenna just makes it so special, too. We've not yet been to Baird Farm, but look forward to going at some point! read more

Came for a tour with a small group. I feel like we learned so much about the process! Would highly recommend a tour and the syrup is exceptional. If you are in the area, don't miss Baird Farm. read more

This has got to be the best syrup we have ever tasted. Last year we got the Amber flavor, but this year we tried the dark roast. OmG, the dark roast is Amazing!!!! I will Always buy from the Baird Farm. Thankyou! Wendy read more

We went here for a tour of the maple syrup farm and it was so good! The tour guide, Jacob, was so friendly and knowledgeable about the sugaring process. Our group definitely learned a lot. The tour included tastings of the maple syrups, which was fun. Would definitely recommend for anyone in the area, even if it meant taking a little detour! read more

This! This is THE place to get delicious maple syrup and have a wonderful chat with the Baird Family, as we have been fortunate to do a few times over the past several years during Spring visits to Vermont. They will teach you a lot about the long history of their farm and about their yummy and unique products. Jenna and her family are all just the NICEST people and it will be a highlight of your trip. You'll come for a quick stop, but won't want to leave. And if you can't visit, order online like I just did - it will arrive fast. Check out their fun videos, too. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place! If you're in Vermont, Baird Farm needs to be a destination you check out. First of all, it's run by the NICEST people. Jenna, her dad, and John all greeted us with smiles and treated us like we were family the whole time we were there. Second, the views are spectacular. Third, I learned a lot on the tour of their sugar house! I had no idea the process behind how syrup was made and John was very patient at explaining everything and answering my questions. And finally, the delicious maple syrup. I wanted to bring so much of it home with me to share with friends and family and they helped me pack it up to ship back home since I knew it wasn't going to fit in my suitcase or make it through airport security. I just got my shipment and Jenna included a thoughtful handwritten note thanking me again for coming out. Wow! These people and this business are the real deal! You can tell they love their job and they're so good at it! Go and support the local farmer and small business. read more

Every interaction that I have with Baird Farm is above and beyond! I have been buying their delicious and unique products (such as mint maple syrup, spruce tip maple syrup, maple ketchup, hats, stickers) along with different grades of their syrup for years. However, two weeks ago, I took my first farm tour and learned SO much about their experience, maple sugaring in general, and its role in Vermont. Jacob took his time and entertained the group, and Jenna showed us her beloved giant pumpkins. They also are always quick to reply to questions or when I want to make orders from LA. Their social media is always up to date and I appreciate how interactive it is. Truly, nothing but great things to say about Baird Farm!! read more

Baird Farm Maple Syrup - Specialty Food Near Me - Chittenden, Vermont

Last spring I was looking for a family farm in Vermont to send real maple syrup to my nephew who lives in South Carolina and can't get the good stuff down there! found Baird Farm the way you do...internet. But I was pleasantly surprised at the efficient mail service that got the gift sent out in no time and made the birthday gift a success. When my own supply started to dwindle, I thought, I will order my own from Baird. Happy to see they still offer the range of colors, so those of us that like the dark, strong syrup can still get it. And again, I couldn't believe how quickly my 1/2 gallon was delivered, wrapped in recyclable packaging. Jenna even included a handwritten note. I hope I can visit the farm in real life someday, but for now, it's great to know I can always get true maple syrup with the REAL flavor of maple with no additives and from wild trees. Baird Farm is the best! read more

Our tour in March was fabulous! Jacob was funny, engaging, and informative. Touring Baird Farm was the highlight of our weekend in Vermont. We learned so much about the maple sugaring process-- from trees to bottles! Jacob was able to walk us through each step, answer all of our questions thoroughly, and used humor to showcase his love and appreciation of the maple syrup industry. We were also able to taste many variations of syrup and purchased several bottles to bring home and enjoy. We whole-heartedly recommend stopping by Baird Farm! read more

What a wonderful farm! We had the tour last year from Jacob, and learned so much about the process of making maple syrup. We got to sample several varieties, and they are excellent. The spruce tip infused maple syrup is my favorite. read more

A couple of years ago we stopped in at Baird Farms on our trip from St Louis to New England. What a gem of a find. Jenna couldn't have been more nice , and the maple syrup was great. We have since ordered more maple syrup twice. The last order was spruce tip infused, delicious, an a new one infused with mint. Can't wait to try it. Gary G. read more

Had an amazing day on March 4th, 2023, learning about the production of maple syrup. The Baird's have been making maple products here since 1918, but maple has been produced at this location long before this branch of the Baird family tree bought the farm that year. Jacob is a fantastic guide with a true passion for his and his family's craft. Learned so much about the history of the Baird farm. Walking to the edge of the closest sugarbush was great even after the snow from the night before. Seeing the hard work and amount of time spent doing that work shows how truly dedicated the family is to making a fantastic product. The entire setup is hard to fathom unless you see it with your own eyes. The sugarhouse itself is also a sight to behold. The amount of sap being pumped into the tanks there is mind boggling and the speed at which it pours in doesn't seem possible with what I previously knew about tree sap. The highlight of the tour was tasting the line of maple syrup that is produced. Everything was phenomenal. Our favorite was the Spruce Tip infused maple syrup, but that didn't stop us from filling a bag with a selection of goods that is sold in their store. They have so many maple products from food to clothing and beyond. It was the best day of our trip, and the kindness of Jacob and Jenna just made you feel at home and we left not only with newly gained knowledge, we also left with new friends. read more

The best !! In order of pleasure 1) buying a gallon of maple syrup for one's self 2) tasting the different tastes 3) touring facility 4) buying gifts for others 5) anticipation of next visit ... it's been over a decade since I've purchased syrup from anyone else. read more

When I scheduled the visit I didn't realize it was for the following week. In spite of that Jacob and Jenna were so gracious and accommodating. We were able to take a tour and learn so much from Jacob about maple syrup from the micro to the macro. We tasted the maple syrup (so good!) and bought six bottles to share with family and friends in Boston and North Carolina. If you are within driving distance I encourage you to visit - it was a joy to do so. read more

I ordered their maple sugar online & it came quickly and is delicious :) Can't wait to visit!

I've been acquainted with Baird Farm for 50 years. Now into the fourth generation of this family-owned business, they continue to be put their heart and soul into everything they do. Jenna and Jacob's tours of the sugar facility are fun and informative for the whole family, and the setting on the edge of Otter Creek Valley is beyond beautiful. Folks on their mailing list get to enjoy their funny and entertaining take on Vermont farm life, and you even get to guess the weight of the giant pumpkin (it gets bigger every year). They're happy to send their syrup and sundries through the mail. Just the other day we received our shipment of two quarts of syrup - different grades - maple-sweetened ketchup and sriracha and celebrated with a three-course maple-inspire meal using the recipes they'd inclosed. I can't recommend Baird Farm more highly. They give you a taste of Vermont you can enjoy in person, on line, and in your home kitchen, all year long! read more

Simply outstanding flavor! I'm out in California so if ever I venture out to Vermont country, I will definitely take the time to visit.

We recently visited Vermont and one of our stops was the tour of Baird Farm. We ended up being the only ones on the tour and had such a neat and fun experience. Jacob and Jenna are really personable and welcoming owners. We really enjoyed sampling their product and of course, had to bring home their delicious maple syrup. You definitely have to visit their farm to learn all the hard work it takes for them to make such an amazing product. read more

Still big fans. Only buy our maple syrup from Baird Farm. Love their maple ketchup too. Great business, great service, lovely people.

I wanted the real thing and this is it! I ordered for delivery to my house in California and Baird Farm delivered quickly, well packaged and fantastically great maple syrup. I bought two 750ml bottles and that should last me a couple of months. I'll be ordering from here again for sure. read more

At a time when businesses struggle to keep operating, this small business deserves your attention. I caught a brief tour of this farm on YouTube and was impressed with what I saw. While maple syrup might be in short supply on your grocery shelves, I decided to shop direct. So I went online, searched Baird Farm out and discovered a gem. The website is clear, user-friendly and informative. I made my purchases and in just a few days my order arrived at my home in Florida. The price is fair, the owners are personable and the syrup is out of this world. Go there to buy and or tour, you won't be disappointed. They even included a personal handwritten note with my delivery. (Nice touch!) Hugh D. The Villages, Florida read more

We visited on what started as a rainy morning. Jenna was so great to let us continue with the tour. We enjoyed learning about the farm and tasting the maple syrup! Highly recommend. We drove from Burlington and the directions were easy with beautiful views. read more

Stopped in at the end of the day traveling Vermont on a trip last year. 1 year and 2 gallons of dark syrup later we just ordered 2 more gallons for next year. It's delicious and great to buy direct and support a super nice family! read more

Can't say enough about what a lovely place this is to visit. We went for the syrup but were delighted by a personal tour from the Bairds of their charming farm. Kids loved a peek into how one of their favorite foods is made. Highly recommend. Even with Covid levels very low in VT we were happy to see they were taking every precaution to keep everyone safe. read more

The most amazing team/family that produce wonderful Organic maple syrup. Ordering on their website was super easy and the shipping was fast... perfect for getting a taste of home sent to California read more

My family had a wonderful tour & tasting at Baird Farm! We learned all about how syrup is made. My 10 year old enjoyed the syrup tasting the best. Delicious! Beautiful farm and warm and friendly people. We'll be back! read more

What a wonderful experience! A great, family-owned farm with LOTS of years and experience making maple syrup. Whether your questions are about the science or the finance, they were so knowledgeable about all aspects of the maple syrup industry. read more

I ordered from them to get the grade B syrup. The shipment came with a handwritten note as a first time buyer, which was a nice, personal touch. But the syrup is the main reason why I'll order again. The syrup is noticeably richer and bolder than the Extremely Dark/Robust from other Vt suppliers. Outstanding. read more

Many years ago, (maybe about ten or so?) my husband and I were taking a little walk while killing some time at a family wedding event. We stumbled upon this beautiful little farm nestled in the country side. The owner was nice enough to let me use the bathroom and even though it was off season, he even took us around and showed us where they made their syrup and explained the process for us. Ever since then I have been ordering syrup from them and not only is the syrup really great quality, the service is terrific. I ordered two pints last week and they were packed and shipped out to us on the same day. I love supporting small family owned businesses and I am more than happy to tell everyone I know to order their syrup from them. You can't go wrong. read more

Great syrups. My favorite is the Robust Taste for its intense maple flavor. It really makes my oatmeal fantastic. Great service. What's not to like? Don't forget the maple sugar for an extra treat. Just sorry that I'm not closer so I could visit and tour. read more

Knowing we use maple syrup in our bourbon drinks, a veterinarian friend brought back to Kentucky for us several bottles of the mint infused maple syrup. Needless to say, it is the PERFECT mixer for bourbon (and horse racing). Thank you to Baird Farm for making such delicious syrup and for making it so easy to call in for reinforcements after running dry in one short week! We're now on round two (four bottles ordered and delivered within a week) and will be re-upping again after that! read more

My wife and I LOVED our experience at Baird Farm. We were staying nearby on a fall foliage trip and called up to schedule a free tour on the same day. Jacob - one of three family members that runs the farm - gave us a wonderful personal tour where we learned about the maple trees, the leaves, the land, the maple industry, how they tap the trees and collect the sap and how they make the maple syrup. He was funny, informative, and lots of fun. We then got a tasting from Jenna of their different grade syrups. We bought a whole lot more than we would have because we were grateful to see a family-run farm making tasty and organic maple syrup. read more

We had a really great time even in the rain and got a good informative tour with all questions answered and lots of information I did not know prior to the trip. Hands down the best maple syrup I've had can't wait to stop back the next time we're out this way! read more

My kids and I visited Baird Farm and got an amazing, informative tour of the sugar house from Jenna. This place is so cool, and the maple syrup is DELICIOUS! We are so happy we found it. Love supporting small family businesses! read more

Originallly from Canada so we know our maple syrup!! This is an awesome product and they are are top notch to deal with ...will definitely be repeat customers and highly recommend!!! read more

I really cant say enough about this place. I purposely sought out a special expereince while visiting from Virginia for a wrestling event for my son. We received a welcoming invite when I called, were scheduled a personal tour and tasting, and received a very warm Halmark-like reception - the kind usually reserved for family you havent seen in forever. We met the staff and saw the various operation stages of their craft. More specifically, we were provided a mini education and lecture on how and why they do specific things. It was very informative. We then did a tasting. It was just like being at a vineyard. They explained all the different syrups. We gried them all. We finished our visit with some group photos. Their product and hospitality is high quality and warm. I cant wait to visit again this fall. Our experience was like trying a new restaurant and falling in love with the meal I ordered... yeah, there are other items (locations) I could try... but when its that good, why bother?!? read more

Sampling Baird in person is amazing. Being able to order Baird in Oklahoma anytime, equally amazing. Our family stopped into the store, the set up was perfect for our family to sample and purchase different syrups. Since returning home we have ordered this syrup over and over again. read more
