Tastes like every farmer's market I miss
Bought the Amber for my dad and ended up keeping it. The wood-fire note is real — you can taste it in the finish. Bought two more.

Pulled at the tail end of the season. The longer the sap runs, the darker and more robust the syrup. Best for baking, glazing, and anything that wants a stronger maple note.

Common questions
What people ask
before they buy.
- Every bottle is hand-tapped, boiled, and bottled on our family farm in Mulmur, Ontario. One sugarbush, one wood-fired evaporator, one family. No outside sap, ever.
How it’s made
Tap. Boil. Bottle.
Step 01
Tap.
Late February, by hand. Every spile goes in with a hammer, every line walks back to the sugarhouse.
Step 02
Boil.
Wood-fired, all day. 40 gallons of sap reduces to 1 gallon of syrup on an evaporator that's been here since 1988.
Step 03
Bottle.
Same day. Hot-packed into glass, sealed, labeled by hand in the kitchen.

The Very Dark is a cheat code
Used it to glaze a pork shoulder and got asked four times what was in it. Worth every penny.

Beautiful packaging, smaller than I expected
100ml is honestly tiny — get the 250 if it's a real gift. That said, the bottle is gorgeous and the syrup is the best I've had.

Sampler converted me to Golden
Came in thinking I'd be a Very Dark person. Tasted all three side by side and Golden in coffee is unreal. Buying a 500ml next.

Shipped fast, packed like a museum piece
Three layers of protection, hand-wrapped, with a little card. You can tell someone actually packed this.

Replaced my grocery-store syrup forever
I didn't think the difference would be this big. It's not even the same product. We pour way less and it tastes like more.

Pricey but worth it for the holidays
Sent six gift boxes for the holidays and got texts from every recipient. Not cheap, but nobody's complaining.

Cider is the dark horse here
Came for the syrup, stayed for the cider. Tart, not sugary, tastes like apples picked yesterday.
