How it all started
Owen and his father-in-law, Steve, developed a love for maple syrup early on. Both of them had spent most of their lives producing maple syrup using backyard evaporators. By 2019 they were ready to turn their love of Maple syrup into a legitimate diversification for the business.
They purchased an older evaporator, reverse osmosis, and accompanying equipment that were installed in a renovated section of an old storage barn on the farm and a tubing system was installed with 800 taps complete with vacuum.
How it’s going now
By 2024 the maple business has grown to nearly 8,000 taps. A grant through NYSERDA allowed them to upgrade the evaporator and reverse osmosis to a modern, efficient setup with room to grow. Also, in 2024, monitors were added to the tubing system, greatly aiding in maintaining maximum sap production in the woods.
