32 Thurman – Cultivating its Rural Heritage Thurman has forever romanced her land and waterways. Hardy settlers cleared thick forests to create pastures, build homes and grow crops. They harnessed creeks to power mills for grinding grains or sawing lumber. The woods also offered wild game and maple sap, while streams and rivers supplied fresh water, fish, furs and transportation. Today, many in Thurman still seek sustenance from nature’s abundance, by heating with wood, and hunting. fishing or farming to fill freezers and pantries. Many sell their goods, both at area farmers’ markets and from home garden stands. Some, like our internationally acclaimed goat cheese farm and many of our maple producers, establish websites for online orders. Thurman boasts the four largest commercial maple producers in Warren County, along with a number of smaller and growing operations. Their list of delectable products is exceeded only by these farmers’ desire to innovate and increase their offerings. When you visit, look for more than pure maple syrup. The menu of possibilities includes exotic choices, such as bourbon-flavored maple syrup, maple cotton candy, maple cream bonbons, maple raspberry cream, maple brittle, maple glazed nuts—the stuff dreams are made of. At Thurman’s free annual farm events you’ll find animal encounters, demonstrations, tours, talks and walks, along with such activities as product sampling, wagon rides to the sugar bush and a pancake breakfast. Maple farms starring in our local events are Adirondack Gold, Valley Road, Mud St. Maple, Hidden Hollow, and Toad Hill— Reach our advertisers at: each with its own special way of welcoming you to Thurman’s maple tradition. This passion to produce wholesome food has fueled many in Thurman over recent decades. Since 2005, Nettle Meadow, a 50-acre farm has been expanding its herd, its facility and its product line of internationally-acclaimed gourmet cheeses made from sheep, goat and cow milk. Two local farms are producing sought-after products. Whitefields offer all-natural turkeys, eggs and garden goods, and Blackberry Hill markets with certified organic vegetables, breads and herbs, poultry and non-GMO pork. Ready to jump on board soon will be Pink Rose Farm.
