Gould's Sugar House

Top choice


The standard order at this family-run farm is fluffy pancake perfection, drizzled with maple heaven. Other highlights include the sugar pickles (yes, you read that right), maple ice cream and corn fritters. While you wait, you can watch the syrup being made. Located right on the Mohawk Hwy, east of the Shelburne Falls turnoff.
