We tap the sap from sugar maple trees on the edge of our orchards and roads. These maple trees have direct sunlight, large canopies, and are over 100 years old, allowing us to produce high-quality maple syrup.

To reduce the amount of energy required to convert sap from sugar maple trees into maple syrup (40 gallons of sap is needed to make a gallon of syrup), we use a home constructed reverse osmosis (RO) system to concentrate the sugar in the sap.
After removing water from the sap using the RO, only 10 gallons of concentrated sap from sugar maple trees is needed to produce a gallon of maple syrup. The wood stove that heats our home can accomplish the evaporation - providing heat and humidity and a touch of sweetness.
Chestnuts and pure maple syrup are a perfect match! We maintain a small and sustainable operation, producing about 15 gallons of maple syrup each year from our sugar maple trees.
