Arnold Coombs is the seventh generation of the Coombs family to practice the craft of sugaring. His first stop after coming home from the hospital as a newborn wasn’t a crib – it was the sugarhouse where his father was boiling down the sap into maple syrup. Not surprisingly, Arnold was tapping Maple trees himself by the time he was eight.
