In ski towns, catching the first chair is a deep-rooted tradition within mountain culture. Locals wake early, then race to the mountain to claim the first chair to the summit to lay first tracks in the untouched snow.
At the breakfast table, grabbing First Chair means you’ve earned dibs on the syrup bottle. For us, first chair and fresh Vermont maple syrup are what makes life in the mountains so sweet.
Our Team
Colton
Colton grew up in Killington, Vermont, and found his passion for making maple syrup in elementary school. Years later, that passion grew to a hobby and now to a small family business.
Colton's favorite part of sugaring is firing up the evaporator on a cold sunny morning.
Katie
Growing up, Katie spent springtime Saturday nights in the sugarhouse making maple syrup with family and friends. To Katie, sugaring is more than an activity - it's the Vermont lifestyle.
Katie's favorite part of sugaring is taste-testing the hot maple syrup straight off the evaporator.
