West Branch Farm - Light and dark amber maple syrup - Shop Western Mass

West Branch Farm is a fourth generation dairy farm nestled in the valley of the West Branch of the North River in Colrain. Ken Herzig and Rita Thibodeau and their family milk 90 Holstein and jersey cows on their home farm. Their milk is sold to Agrimark, a farmer-owned cooperative.

Ken and Rita have been making maple syrup for more than 80 years on the Herzig farm. Their new sugarhouse, directly adjacent to a sugarbush of maple trees, sits on the same site as the original sugarhouse their great-grandfather built when he started out collecting sap with a team of horses hitched to a sled. West Branch Farm faces southwest, which makes the sugarbush run early in the season. The sap from the maple trees gravity flows to the sugarhouse. A wood fired evaporator is used to boil the sap to make the maple syrup.
