Our Sappy Story:

The first time Andy and I officially met was in high school welding class. Andy’s favorite joke is that (sparks flew). We became fast friends, and likely drove our shop teacher and fellow classmates nuts with our shenanigans.

After we started dating he invited me out to the farm to help make maple syrup. I had no idea how that worked, but thought it was code to spend time together. Boy was I wrong! I hauled buckets up and down the muddy hills after dark, covered in bruises from falling and sore from all that heavy lifting. My parents were not happy I’d get home so late thinking we were up to mischief, and didn’t believe me when I told them Andy tricked me into hard labor. (haha) But I was hooked, we got the fever for maple and got excited for the future.

We’ve worked so well together, after getting married 3 weeks out of high school 2014, we’ve nearly doubled our maple operation every year since. What had started with 50 taps is now over 18,000. What had started with a shack in the woods is now a commercial sugarhouse, equipment store, warehouse, and custom installation business that astounds me to even imagine. Thanks to the loyal support of our customers, we have come far in a very short time, and only hope to grow so we can share our success with others.

We have made a career with maple, a lifetime of goals, expanding our operation, encouraging other hobbyists, and helping the next generation get excited as we are about making sugar. March, 2024 we’ve added to our legacy of maple with an addition to our family. Sawyer, as young as she is, is already following in our footsteps with her love of being outdoors, and her energy to “get stuff done”. We are so blessed to have this little one (soon to be) running around to continue what we have started and have come leaps and bounds to reach our ambitions.

We will never meet all our goals, but that’s ok, we are content feeding the addiction.
