- CATIE RAISHART AND her husband, Mark, tap around 500 maples on their Foxglove Farm in Leicester. Unusually, they tap red maples, rather than the celebrated sugar maple. It doesn’t seem to matter — the 150 gallons of syrup they produce is as sweet as any you’re going to taste. After the heavy snowfall on Saturday, the crowd at the sugarhouse on Sunday was not huge, but they were appreciative. Independent photos/Steve James
- MARK RAISHART FEEDS another piece of hardwood into the evaporator at the Foxglove Farm sugarhouse in Leicester on Sunday during Vermont Open Sugarhouse Weekend. He and his wife, Catie, boil up about 150-200 gallons of maple syrup each year. Independent photo/Steve James
