New Hampshire Maple Syrup

At Harding Hill Farm, we produce about 500 gallons of New Hampshire maple syrup every year at our sugarhouse. 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 50 years, and our sugarhouse on NH Route 103 dates back to the 1920's.

Our maple sugaring operation has approximately 1,300 taps on 12 acres of forest. We use our own firewood to fuel the evaporator. On an average year we burn about 12 cords of wood. 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.

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.
