Maple Crest- Sugaring with Friends Certified Organic Maple Syrup
About Us
The One's Who Started it all
Dave & Debbie have grown this maple operation together for over 30 years to what it is now. Dave started this in High School and after marrying Debbie they have since worked together year after year improving Maple Crest.
Dave & Kohlton
Firing the rig to keep the temperature high enough to produce Maple Syrup from sap from Maple Trees. Kohlton is Dave's son in law who has just as much of a passion for working in the sugarwoods and producing Maple Syrup.
Debbie
Debbie checking the maple syrup as it is boiling to determine if the proper density has been achieved.
Colleen & Our Next Generation
Walking lines in the fall checking for down pipeline, down trees or branches, squirrel, bear, or deer chews, and unplugging spouts so the lines can drain before it freezes. This is done every fall to prepare for tapping trees in January.
Some of the Crew
We are thankful to have so many Friends & Family to help us in the woods while tapping trees, walking lines and cutting Firewood to fuel our arch. We also have occasional help from other Family members who have their own sugarwoods when they have time. During sugaring season we have others who work in the Sugar House to help us with boiling the sap and operations.

Misha & Sasha
Can't forget the most important part of our crew- our huskies! They spend most of their days in the sugarwoods keeping Kohlton company and busy looking for where they have wandered off to. We have tracking collars to keep track of where they are because Huskies are known for their disappearing acts in a split second. ;)
And as you can see they like to dig around down tree roots to pass the time.
