THE BEGINNING
It started
with 25 trees.
In 2009, founder and owner Rob purchased a piece of land as a place to escape the noise and pace of everyday life. While exploring the property, he discovered a thriving population of sugar maples. Curious, he tapped 25 trees and boiled the sap over an open fire in a simple pan.
What started as a hobby quickly became a passion.
THE GROWTH
From 25 taps
to 4,200.
Year after year, the operation grew. With a willingness to learn, experiment, and invest in better equipment, Tappers evolved from a backyard hobby into a full-scale maple syrup operation. Today, we tap approximately 4,200 trees, combining hands-on experience with modern technology to produce consistently high-quality organic maple syrup.
THE FAMILY
A family passion.
For Rob, making maple syrup is even better when it's shared with family. Working alongside his son Phill has become one of the most rewarding parts of Tappers. Together, they share a passion for caring for the woods, making exceptional syrup, and building something they can be proud of.
OUR VALUES
Caring for the woods we love.
Our commitment to the forest goes well beyond maple season. Through thoughtful forest management, responsible harvesting, and certified organic practices, we work to protect the health and diversity of the land. Because taking care of our woods today means keeping them thriving for generations to come.
