Matras Maple Sugarhouse & Dairy

10/19/2026

We hired some new crew members last week to help us out in the woods - Sterling and Silver, and Martin and Scotty 🐂 Our niece and nephew each have a pair of oxen and we used them to haul maple equipment out of the woods. We are reconfiguring our new sugarbush and used the oxen to relocate our big sap tank and pump house that were in a tricky location in the woods.

Willie and Asa have been spending a lot of time in the sugarbush lately getting things tweaked for the coming season. It’s one of the nicest times of year to work in the woods! 🍂

We wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for all the support you showed Gene in our last post! It really is a testament to what a huge impact his artwork has made in New Hampshire, New England, and beyond. He doesn’t have a page so we wanted to celebrate his huge milestone with you here. You can pick up his artwork at the sugarhouse or at www.genematras.com

This weekend we are celebrating Gene’s 50th year selling his artwork at the Deerfield Fair 🎉 Thank you for supporting him all these years at the fair and beyond!

🍁🍁🍁Sugarhouse update! 🍁🍁🍁

Fall has arrived at the sugarhouse! Things have been fairly business-as-usual around here this summer with a few small changes. First, we are no longer offering fresh eggs or maple cream - we apologize to anyone who is disappointed about this! We are also taking a break temporarily from making ice cream but don’t worry, it will make a comeback eventually!

In the meantime when you stop in you still have a full selection of maple syrup in plastic and glass containers. Lindsay also restocked the soap cupboard with fall scents from The Sudsy Cow! There is a nice selection of beef to choose from and there are still Matras Maple t-shirts and sweatshirts available!

Can’t make it to the Deerfield Fair? Pick up artwork and notecards by Gene Matras here at the sugarhouse! But by all means, do what you can so you don’t miss the Deerfield Fair!!

Sugarhouse is open every Monday - Saturday (closed Sundays) from 9 am - 6 pm. Thank you for your support!

Sugaring wood for the 2027 season is DONE! This might be the earliest we’ve ever had wood neatly stacked away in the shed…we aren’t going to complain!

We currently have space to take on a few additional weekly milk customers. If you are interested in picking up fresh raw milk from the sugarhouse weekly please message us and we can send you more information! Thank you for supporting our small dairy!

Dear fantastic customers - we so appreciate your support of the sugarhouse! As we grow we do have some housekeeping we need to address however.

1) Please understand that when you visit the sugarhouse the business is located on a private residence. We expect you to be respectful of that and respect the privacy of the people who live there. If you have a question is NO need to go in search of someone to help you at the house or anywhere on the property; phone numbers for contact people are at both the sugarhouse and are available for Asa’s Small Engine Repair business.

2) Designated parking is in front of Asa’s shop. We will do better about signs in the future, but in the meantime please use the pull-in parking in front of the shop. If you have mobility issues you are welcome to park close to the sugarhouse but otherwise we ask to use the pull-in parking and not block the driveways as these are used by the people who live on the property. We’ve seen bikes left in the middle of the driveway and all kinds of various parking that blocks access or limits other customers from being able to park as well.

We really appreciate the support you give to the sugarhouse and we hope this helps things run smoother for the future! Thank you for being considerate.
