Vermont maple syrup: A sweet winter sideline for Chippers, Inc

摘要

Keeping tree crews busy is an ongoing challenge for arborists in northerly climes, where trees are bare for more than half the year and snow can remain on the ground for almost as long. Vermont is noted for both frigid winters and verdant summers -thelatter made more so by the forested peaks that give the "Green Mountain State" its nickname.For one Vermont tree care company, finding a cold-weather activity was literally a matter of seeing the forest for the trees. Puns aside, this firm has built a worthwhile sideline in delivering gallons of a popular condiment derived from woodlands - genuine, 100-percent-pure Vermont maple syrup.
