Our Sappy Story

Our journey together began in high school welding class, where Andy likes to joke that “sparks flew.” We became fast friends and, with our antics, probably drove our teacher and classmates crazy.

When we started dating, Andy invited me to the farm to help make maple syrup. I thought it was just an excuse to spend time together—but I quickly learned otherwise! That night, I found myself hauling buckets up and down muddy hills, bruised and sore from the effort. My parents didn’t believe my story, assuming we were up to no good, but I was hooked. From that point on, maple syrup became a passion we both shared.

After getting married just three weeks out of high school in 2014, we decided to turn our passion into a business. What started as 50 taps in the woods has grown into over 18,000 taps, a commercial sugarhouse, an equipment store, a warehouse, and even a custom installation business. It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come in such a short time, and it’s all thanks to the incredible support of our loyal customers.

We’ve built a career and a life around maple syrup—expanding our operation, supporting other hobbyists, and inspiring the next generation to fall in love with making sugar. In March 2024, we welcomed our daughter, Sawyer, to the family. Even at her young age, she loves being outdoors and tackling tasks with endless energy. We’re excited to watch her grow and (hopefully) follow in our footsteps, continuing the legacy we’ve worked so hard to build.

While we may never achieve all our goals, that’s okay. We love what we do and feel blessed to share our passion with others. For us, maple syrup isn’t just a business—it’s an addiction we’re happy to feed.
