By Jay Adams CEG CORRESPONDENT

March and April are the months of expectation andpatience in the northernmost small town of Derby, Vt., on theCanadian border.Jason Patenaude — who learned to turn a backhoe, dig the

earth and cut and move timber at the tender age of 11 by hisfather’s side — and his wife and partner Alison, are expec-tant and expecting.Jason and Alison, owners of Jason Patenaude Excavating

Inc., are expecting their first son. They also are expectingsweet syrup and success from the more than 9,000 mapletrees they are tapping with Jason’s father, the founder of hisfirm and are anticipating the completion of a brand newshop. Besides the Patenaudes and just two other employees,

Jason Patenaude Excavating has the reputation in this verytiny, rural town of Derby of a Derby winner.It’s been that way for some 27 years.

Tapping the Maples“My dad, Albert Patenaude, started the business in 1987.

While farming, my father always had a dozer and wasalways doing side work. After selling the farm, he bought abackhoe and 6-wheel dump truck and decided to go intobusiness,” said Jason Patenaude. “I started working for mydad when I was 11, and full time after high school. I took thebusiness over in 1996 and my dad worked for me up untilabout five years ago, getting done at the age of 73.”The teacher and student, father and son, also became col-

laborators in other ways.“My father began sugaring in 1962 and started Valley

View Maple Products with 3,000 maple tree taps. I havealways played a large role in helping him continue with sug-aring,” said Patenaude. “In 2010, after my father had twoknee replacements, we built a brand-new sugar house with a4X14 CDL oil fire arch and a new 1800-gallon per hour RO[reverse osmosis]. The arch is what you boil the syrup on.

There’s a back pan and a front pan, the syrup gets thicker andthen it goes from the back to the front and then you bake thewater off. The RO separates the water from the sugar.“Between my father’s sugar bush and mine, we now tap

9,000 trees while also purchasing sap from other sugar bush-es. This is a business, yes, but it is still a hobby to both myfather and I. We are lucky to be able to share this interesttogether.”In March and April, when the daytime temperatures rise

into the 40s, and then dip below freezing at night, the raw sapinside the maple trees pushes upward to be tapped.But the trees aren’t the only things that continually grow.“When I started working for him, we had a Case 850

dozer, Case 580 E backhoe and an International dump truck.My role in the business now, is, well, everything. I take careof all the bids, the layouts and I also run an excavator and do90 percent of all the dozer work. I am always looking fornew opportunities for us as a business,” said Patenaude.And that would be in two countries, side by side.“We are located in Derby, Vt., directly on the Canadian

border. I still am currently using my father’s shop, where Irun my business from now. We are currently building mynew shop this summer. The shop will be built on 10 acres ofland next to my father’s sugar house,” said Patenaude. “Mywife and I live up the road on 47 acres, where we also have3,000 maples currently tapped. “We currently have three full-time employees, not includ-

ing myself, with the possibility of hiring one more this sum-mer. We currently operate our business with a Volvo 160B,Volvo 145D, Cat 312C, Cat D5K, Volvo L90, Kubota M95S,two 10-wheel dump trucks and two Denis-Cimaf mulchingheads for excavators.” Jason Patenaude Excavating Inc. is versatile.

In 2011, Patenaude Steps in After Hurricane Irene Hit Vt.• Road assembly• Roadside drain and ditch assembly• Trucking• Excavation• Brush hogging (rigs made to grind

brush)• Brontosaurus work (brush heads made

by Denis-Cimaf for land clearing)• Building demolition• Debris removal

Hard Wood and Hurricanes“In 2005, I purchased that Denis-

Cimaf mulching head. This is amachine that goes on the head of theexcavator and mulches trees up to 10-to-12-inch soft wood and 5-to-6-inchhard wood,” said Patenaude. “Thiswas a large purchase and big step forthe small business to take, but it soonbecame a bigger hit than expected.We now operate with the brush headfull-time on one excavator; doingeverything from residential clearing togovernment and state projects.” One of those state projects was to

help the towns of Vermont clear thedevastation caused by HurricaneIrene, which was the biggest naturaldisaster the state has seen in a century.“In 2011, when Hurricane Irene hit,

we traveled down to Ludlow, Vt.,where Vermonters were stranded in a town-ship that lost its roads and homes,” saidPatenaude. “We worked down there for eightweeks to help repair what we could. It wasthe most devastation that I had ever experi-enced. We worked with people from all over,who came to help rebuild their communityand became great friends with many othercontractors.” Other notable Patenaude Excavating

clients include:• Plum Creek: Road building. • U.S. Department of Forestry: Land

clearing for natural habitats• Silvio O. Conte National Fish & Wildlife

Refuge: Land clearing for habitats and roadmaintenance• U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife:

Land clearing for habitats• Various Townships and municipalities

in northern Vermont.“We take safety seriously and always

make sure that we are taking the correctsteps to ensure the safety of our employeesand the people around us,” said Patenaude.

This helps to ensure return business.“Living in such a small town, word of

mouth and reputation is how we grow and

do business. We take pride in our ability tocomplete the job given, while making surethe job is done correctly and the customer ishappy with the end product,” saidPatenaude. “We will always do our best toadvise you in the correct way to completeyour project, even if we are not the ones forthe job. We do not do any advertising, so wedepend on word of mouth for our business.”That word of mouth can echo over the

mountains and through the valleys of thechallenging earth and land he moves.“The most challenging part about our job

is the terrain that we work on,” saidPatenaude. But it is also the source of hishappiness. “The best part about having myown business and doing what we do is weare always outside and the scenery is alwayschanging.”That happiness will increase tenfold when

newborn Aden Jason Patenaude arrives; rat-tle in one hand, Tonka truck in the other. Inaddition to impending motherhood, Alison isthe head of accounts receivable at PoulinLumber, a fourth-generation business with astore in Derby and four nearby Vermontlocations.“We hope to continue this family busi-

ness,” said Patenaude.Jason Patenaude Excavating is located at
