babies 👶🏾 first jar of maple 🍁 syrup made from the maple trees located here at the ZAFA vineyard /farm. only (what seems like) 100 jars to go 🫠. Golden—delicate flavor and lightest color this is the lightest color and is usually associated with the first sap flows during the sugaring season. it is golden in color and with a subtle maple flavor, often with hints of vanilla. the delicate flavor often surprises people who expect a strong maple flavor found in other grades. #fermentablesugar #zafawines #zafavineyard #zafafarm #counterspell #mongoose #wineisfarming #maplesyrup #vermont #islelamotte (at ZAFA Wines) https://www.instagram.com/p/CptE_purqcA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“The trees act not as individuals, but somehow as a collective. Exactly how they do this, we don’t yet know. But what we see is the power of unity. What happens to one happens to us all. We can starve together or feast together.” — Robin Wall Kimmerer (Braiding Sweetgrass) #wineisfarming #vermont #maplesyrup #fermentablesugar #zafawines #zafavineyard #zafafarm #braidingsweetgrass (at ZAFA Wines) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpcn-FgrpPP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
