Products
What We Make
We produce pure NY State Maple Syrup from our sugar bush in Marion, NY. We produce pure NY State Black Walnut Syrup from our sugar bushes located all over Wayne County NY.
We offer our syrups in a range of sizes, grades, and infusions. Syrup taste is heavily influenced by a number of factors including location, tree type, time of year, and processing.
Aged syrups in used bourbon barrels offer a rich, complex and unique flavor.
NOT SO SIMPLE Syrup for Cocktails
Many cocktails are improved simply by replacing simple syrup with a maple, walnut, or specialty aged syrup. Kick up your Old Fashioned, Hot Tody, or Sazerac with some great syrups.

Maple Syrup the sweetener of choice
Maple Syrup has been made by man for 100s of years. The natural sap of the maple tree is gathered in the spring when the trees wake from their winter slumber. The sap is boiled down, and most of the water is removed to leave a sweet simple syrup. This syrup is sweet, sticky, and delicious. Maple Syrup has no additives or other ingredients and is truly a simple syrup. There are numerous health benefits of Maple Syrup as well!
- Contains Numerous Antioxidants
- Low Glycemic Index
- Anti-Inflammatory
- Alternative to Sugar
- Contains important vitamins and minerals
- Enhances Antibiotic effects
