The Rooney family legacy began in Cambridge, Vermont in the 20th Century, when their ancestors first started the time-honored tradition of sugaring. Through eight generations, their passion for creating high quality maple syrup while serving as good stewards of the land has remained unwavering, even as the world around them has transformed.
In the 1950s, Hubert and Katherine Rooney moved to their current farm in Morrisville, Vermont, establishing the roots that would flourish for decades to come. Their two boys, David and Thomas, wasted no time in tapping the maple trees that dotted their property, beginning what would become a lifelong devotion to Vermont's sweetest season.
Seventy years later, David's enthusiasm for sugaring burns as bright as ever. He continues to work the farm alongside his wife Charlene "Charlee" Rooney, their twin daughters Selina and Siri, Siri's husband Roger, grandchildren Sam and Clara Alley, Myles and Adele Marcoux, and nephew Patrick "Pat" Towne. Together, this multigenerational family creates wood-fired maple products that carry forward their ancestors' commitment to quality and land stewardship.
