New Hampshire Maple Syrup

At Harding Hill Farm, we’re passionate about maple! This family tradition is a great way to end the winter and begin our spring. The Webb Family has been making syrup for three generations and over 60 years, and our previous sugarhouse on NH Route 103 dated back to the 1920’s. In 2019/2020, we constructed a new sugarhouse abutting our main farm at the corner of Stagecoach Road and NH Route 103, just a few miles east of our previous spot. We’re 3 miles from Mount Sunapee Resort and 3 miles from historic Sunapee Harbor. The new building gives us much needed space, visibility, and accessibility from recreation trails.

Our maple sugaring operation now has over 5,000 taps in three locations across the Lake Sunapee Region. We use our own firewood to fuel the evaporator. Did you know it takes about 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup? To help us reduce this 40 to 1 ratio, we use reverse osmosis technology to remove half of the water from our sap. This reduces the ratio to 20 gallons of sap for one gallon of syrup produced. We are able to reduce our energy use by using nearly half as much firewood, and it reduces our time spent in the sugarhouse.

It’s always a family affair, so please join us to celebrate spring in New Hampshire. Our sugarhouse tours and retail shop are open every weekend in March and usually early April too.

Grass Fed Beef

We raise a small herd of beef cattle on our pastures in Sunapee, New Hampshire. We raised beef cattle for many years, but in 2016 we started our own Belted Galloway breeding herd. More information on this interesting breed can be found here. We are excited to see our herd grow!

Firewood

We take pride in managing our forest land in a sustainable manner. We offer firewood cut to 12 to 24 inches in length, split, and delivered. Typically we make about 200 cords of firewood every year, and it sells fast!

Most of our firewood is sold in the spring unseasoned, but we occasionally have seasoned firewood available in the fall.
