Thank you so much for this showcase of an amazing farmer!

Played there many times. It was a total dive. I remember a rat running over my foot in the basement mens room. The tiny dressing rooms were right behing the stage with nothing separating them but a thin piece of plywwod covered with rock star signatures and grafiti. Trying to tune my bass while another band was on stage was nearly impossible. Best Rock & Roll experience of my life!

What to think about it? That gentrification kills the arts, culture, people's creation (don't give me this talk that a museum can be installed as if its public also doesn't care about seeing and being seen and threatening people because the shoes are too dirty). Koch and Giuliani went too far, that's the truth. Any tourist area is made of plastic and styrofoam. Confused? Perhaps. It's not just about CBGB. This is a city for people and not for AirBnB.

What's the last song?

I live in Chicago and, actually, i wish they would ticket more on the side streets. A neighbor of mine (he lives by himself) had 7 junk cars and he would not move them. He kept removing the "no parking street cleaning" signs so he never got a ticket. if there is no sign then they can't get a ticket. They have to take a picture of the parked car and the sign in the same picture to issue a ticket...Thank God he finally moved. I used to sometimes have to walk 3 blocks just because of that guy.

nice video a real independent guy there . That grave stone may have been one that was replaced people would buy a better stone and the the they replaced ended up some where like that LOL we saw this onece up here in Georgia Center where i live

I would love that life! I think the simple life is worth a million. That soil really is just beautiful, I’d be loving me a garden. Lol It was really interesting seeing how all that gets done and the different colors for the syrup. I did not realize that. I learned a lot. Thank you, I will be searching out his syrup for sure. ❤

Judging that one cow can produce 60 liters a day under great conditions id guess your granfather had say 6 or 8 cows

Just watched this again after four years. Kudos to Mr Fritz - and any others - for superb storytelling, cinematography, and editing! Currently living in Poland for a few months. I brought maple syrup here as a gift to friends, and naturally, they ask about how maple syrup is made. I point them to this video.

You're lying. There are no holes in the tree. After it's been sawed into lumber. If it's been tapped, there's a discolored scar that's it. There's no hole. The tree heals itself. You even said it, man. You're really not smart and you're not representing Vermont. Well, at all wherever this channel is. If you want to know about sugar in the right way to do it. Talk to me and I'll tell you I'm a perfectionist. I do things the right way the right way the first time. Unlike this yahoo

The problem with tapping early is that your horse clothes up?Obviously you should know that if you're a real farmer

You can't put your arms around memory, but all those years, all those nights, all those bands I saw, will live in my heart until the day I die... RIP CBGBS, Hilly, Stiv Bators, Johnny Thunders, Walter Lure, Howie Pyro, Billy Stark, and so many others... thank you for more than I can say. 💔😎

I loved this video. What a quality documentary. Not many people left with these skills.

That’s definitely not that aunt jemima crap 👍

I stopped in one afternoon around '97, a few people there, didn't really understand, felt a little intimidated for no reason at all

Bonjour à mes voisins du Vermont.... Ça me rappelle de beaux souvenirs passés dans l'érablière... Mais vous êtes modernes avec des perceuses (drills) électriques !!! Cet outil n'était pas encore inventé dans les années 1940-50, on en était encore aux vilebrequins (des drills à bras).. Suis un vieux monsieur qui demeure dans les Cantons de l'Est pas loin de la frontière.....Salutations aux Vermontais.

Nice to hear my friend Jerry in the background you my friend are a gentleman !

This video makes me homesick for the UWS.

Unwritten custom is for double parkers to leave their phone # in the dashboard so blocked cars can get out.

I live on the UWS and own a car. At least NYC street parking is not zoned like in Chicago where non residents of a neighborhood cannot park

"For some reason they think free parking is a God-given right." Unlike government officials who think people need to be regulated to the last detail. 🤔 Just one more reason to never visit NYC.

Every Night Before I Rest My Head,,,,, Patti Smith Group ,,,,, Last Night AT CBGB's ,,,,, EPIC !!!!!! 😎 Bob from Michigan.

If you double parking block somebody in right you can get a ticket your vehicle will be towed

How much are the t shirts? Oh, double it. What a fuck head

Where can we buy his Syrup?

I've traveled the US most of my life working with livestock. The best time and most content time in my life was working as a livestock manager in vermont. The farm owners also sugared, and i found it fascinating

This made me smile. This is the Vermont of my childhood and the Vermont that I remember

Massive technicality and knowledge in this stuff

I loved watching this documentary. My grandmother lived in Fairhaven and we always had maple syrup. I would love to buy some but I don't see the name anywhere or how to purchase?

Doug is a truly amazing person. I went over today to see his operation, and pick up some maple syrup. He represents Vermont at its very best. The values of hard work, simple living, tending to your environment, resources, time and energy. Hard work is not a burden to him, it is a labor of love. And FYI, his maple syrup is second to none, because he adheres to natural and time tested methods, with no short cuts, and a finished product made from precise skill.

Looks like you’re doing a great job. Thanks for sharing.😊

Great video 😊😊 Michigan!!

I forgot about old salty callem for the weather great video bring back great memories pouring hot syrup on the snow

Such a wonderful documentary of this Vermont farm family. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed “meeting” this lovely family. Thank you for sharing your home and snapshot of your life with us. Best wishes to you.

Fabulous documentary

When I was a little boy, my brother and I would "help" our neighbors sugar. They had draft horses which pulled a big bucket on a sled and I would carry the buckets from the trees to the sled. The building they cooked in was a sweet, steamy haze and when allowed we would dip into the final product, find some fresh snow and pour the sugar on it. Yummy. The big event was the insurance company my dad worked for would have a sugar on snow party which consisted of a cardboard tray packed with snow, hot syrup, raised, plain doughnuts and dill pickles. Who dreamed up that?

Why don't you have a hood and pre-heater over your flue pan?

A beautiful poignant movie about a man who loves his land, and farms on a small scale for the sheer joy of it. God bless this man.

I never move 😅😅

Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed coming along with you making syrup, hay, and cider.😊

When he says he has 720 caps and made 256. I guess he means he made 256,000 USD? Right around 39:45 in the video.

The documentary is a work of art. One becomes acquainted with the main protagonist and begins to become empathetic to his emotions and thoughts. Being from the state of Texas, I really liked the pickup truck joke.

Hang in there, never stop, never.

I am totally amazed. God bless you and your family.

Still a Great track today

Without question the best maple syrup I’ve ever tasted. From FANCY TO AMBER, hands down. Thanks Doug and your family and thanks Trev Huxley for introducing me to you guys.

any Beef Cattle up there, or is everything still 80% Dairy?
