About Us
Raven Hill Farm is a small farm run by the Bahnemann/Evans Family in the heart of Central Vermont. We raise Kiko goats and produce maple syrup at a human-scale. Through our efforts, we strive to build a self-sustaining farm that preserves old traditions, and regenerates the land. We farm with our kids, our friends, family and neighbors in the long tradition of small-scale farming that built Vermont.
This could be the last sap collection of the season. Taps are drying out, sap moths are showing up and the days are trending warmer. We’ll boil down this sap and see what tomorrow brings.
If you’re waiting to see what kind of syrup we’ll have for sale this year, please be sure you’re signed up for our newsletter. We’ll be announcing it there first. Go to our website ravenhillvt.com to sign up. There’s a link at the bottom of every page.

With todays storm, we’re working in the deepest snow we’ve sugared in. Didn’t really seem to phase the horses but the humans were suffering a bit!

Our sugaring season has gotten off to slow start but we’re tapping today and should be boiling before long!
Our supply will be limited this year as we’re scaling back slightly to accommodate busy non-farm lives. Hoping to have enough surplus to sell to our friends but not making any promises!

Holy moly! Sold out of our maple syrup in four hours?! Guys??!?!! Thank you.
It’s gratifying to work hard at something and see folks respond so positively. We will be working in the off season on a plan to expand production while holding true to our principles of tradition and quality. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, we will post some recommendations for other sugarmakers who share our belief that maintaining tradition is important. Please consider purchasing syrup from them!
THANK YOU!
