Baird Farm

Fell in love with dark maple syrup on a fall trip to Vermont (shocker, I know) but I wasn't able to bring any home due to luggage. Thankfully Baird has an excellent website and carefully packaged and shipped our maple goodies safely to Minnesota without issue. Their dark and robust syrup is my favorite and makes an excellent addition to coffee. They also have a great selection of infused maple syrups. I will definitely purchase from them again for both myself and friends!

Best sugar house we visited in Vermont. Great tour, not commercialised, lovely staff and the very dark maple syrup is the best I’ve ever tasted! They’ve some awesome infusions too! I went back a second time on our trip to buy more.

On the last day of our VT trip, we still needed to pick up some gifts for folks back home and wanted to bring back some syrup from the source. After passing by a lot of more touristy looking sugar houses and country stores the day prior, a local friend pointed us towards Baird Farm after we asked him about his snazzy hat with the farm logo. First, we were lucky to be in VT in the middle of the week during peak foliage, and the drive out to the farm from Rutland was maybe the most beautiful drive of our entire trip. The setting of around the farm is simply stunning, and nearly worth the trip on its own. On arrival, we notice a tour and tasting just wrapping up in the yard, with Jacob holding court from atop a picnic table as he shared pairing and recipe ideas for the various infused syrups. Our ears perked up at the thought of the sumac variety! We listened in a bit and realized we probably didn't have time to stay for the next tour group, but in a moment we were greeted by Jenna who offered to show me and my partner around so we basically wound up getting a private tour of the facility and syrup 101 course. Jenna and another member of their team who was busy bottling syrup both made time to answer all of our questions and made us feel so welcome. We then got to taste aaaaaaallll the syrups including the infused selection and some other products, and especially fell in love with the spruce tip variety. We loaded up a box and had no trouble finding enough things we wanted to bring back to clear the 100 threshold for free shipping. I just wish I could have filled the box up with stuff all for myself (don't worry, I kept a couple bottles), but excited to spread the joy around now we're back home. I wish I could have stayed longer and seen more of the farm but will definitely stop by again next time we make it back up north. Really, just the most lovely place and people. And the syrup is good too 😊

Very informative and extremely friendly.

The tour is informative & entertaining. Jacob is a pistol. If you're in the are stop by. The syrup is top notch.

Skip all the tourist stops, take a trip down the backroads & end up at your favorite stop of the trip. Wow!!! Stunning backdrop. Delicious syrups, especially the birch bark infused!! A true gem!

It’s amazing how much a little personalized note can do! The syrup is exceptional, the people making it are even better!

I absolutely loved my visit to Baird Farm! I’m from Texas and was visiting Vermont as part of a tour with the Singing Men of Texas. Our stop at Baird Farm was easily one of the highlights of my trip—and exactly the kind of uniquely Vermont experience I was hoping to have. Jacob made the experience. He is incredibly knowledgeable about maple syrup, the farm, and the entire sugaring process, but what really sets him apart is how funny and quick-witted he is. He has a great sense of humor and a way of sharing an incredible amount of information while keeping everyone laughing and completely engaged. It never felt like a lecture or a rehearsed tour—it felt more like spending time with a very funny friend who just happens to know everything there is to know about maple syrup! Jenna was equally warm and welcoming and helped make the whole experience feel personal and genuine. I enjoyed meeting Charlie, too! The syrup is outstanding, but the people are what really make Baird Farm special. It’s informative, relaxed, funny, and authentically Vermont. As a Texan getting to experience maple sugaring firsthand, it was an absolute treat. I left with a much greater appreciation for maple syrup—and some great memories. I cannot recommend Baird Farm, Jacob, and Jenna highly enough!

I haven’t been to the farm in person, but I live in Virginia and ordered the syrup in the mail. Owners sent a hand-written thank you note, and the order arrived so quick! It is also very delicious on pancakes! Especially blueberry 🫐😊 Thanks Baird Farm! Would order again and hope to visit one day!

Me and my wife had an awesome and super great time on the tour. Jacob was so hilarious and he’s truly a cornucopia of knowledge… as I told him. We were so shocked about how intricate the whole system is. And then we got to sample all the syrups at the end and they were absolutely amazing… We bought so many. Thee spruce one really stood out. I just had it with a cheddar & bacon waffle tonight. We also got some free magnets and lots of little recipes and stuff at the store at the end which our friends loved, including the little bottles of syrup that we got for them as souvenirs.

We did the tour. It was amazing! Great information! I knew nothing about maple syrup production coming from Texas. Our tour guide was amazing, communicative and informative. You should take advantage of this tour if in the area. There is a lot more to it than one would think. We had the opportunity to taste the different flavors, they were all dandy but a little different. I chose this due to it sharing my last name. Not related, I asked. I did pick up quite a few jugs to send home to family.

My family had a blast at Baird Farm! We are maple enthusiasts, and had been on a lot of maple sugaring tours, but this was hands down the best! Jenna was so sweet and wonderful and clearly loves what she does. She was an amazing tour guide!! The store was small but well stocked and we were able to buy everything we needed (and then some!). If you’re in the area, you MUST add Baird Farm to your list! I hope to be back one day!

Baird Farm was a great find and a highlight of our first trip to Vermont. So glad we found them! Jenna & Jacob were great hosts taking time explaining the history and aspects of the their beautiful maple syrup farm. We loved their yummy products especially their vintage style maple syrup cans. We had 12 cans shipped home! The BEST maple syrup ever!!
