All of our maple syrup is processed using firewood, harvested from our farm. These practices improve the health of our maple trees producing the sweetest maple flavor without the use of fossil fuels. Dead, dying or diseased trees are removed, as well as large trees crowding the canopy of our maples. New trees are regularly planted to improve the health of the land and reduce the potential for forest fires.
Maple syrup is graded using an international standard adopted officially by the maple industry in 2014. The four official grades of maple syrup are “Golden,” Amber,” “Dark”, and “Very Dark”. These grades are differentiated by color, the color corresponds directly to the intensity of the maple flavor. The darker the color, the stronger the maple flavor.
