Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between the syrup grades (Golden, Amber, Dark, Very Dark)?

The grade refers to color and flavor. Golden is light and delicate, Amber has a classic rich taste, Dark is stronger and robust, and Very Dark is bold with deep caramel notes. All grades are delicious—it’s just a matter of preference.

Does maple syrup go bad?

Unopened, maple syrup lasts indefinitely. Once opened, keep it in the refrigerator and it should stay fresh for about a year. For long-term storage, you can freeze it without it solidifying.

Where do you ship?

We currently ship across the U.S. (and Canada if you want). Orders usually go out within 3 business days.

Can I send maple syrup as a gift?

Absolutely! At checkout, you can enter a different shipping address and even add a gift note.

Is maple syrup healthier than cane sugar?

Yes — maple syrup has natural minerals like manganese, zinc, and calcium, along with antioxidants you won’t find in refined white sugar. It also has a lower glycemic index, meaning it causes a slower rise in blood sugar compared to cane sugar. While it’s still a sweetener, maple syrup is a more wholesome choice with extra nutrients and a rich, natural flavor.

How many gallons of sap does it take to make a gallon of syrup?

On average, it takes about 40 gallons of sap to make just 1 gallon of pure maple syrup. The exact number can vary depending on the sugar content of the sap — sometimes it might take a little less, sometimes a little more. That’s why every drop of syrup is so special!

How do we turn sap to syrup?

Sap is mostly water with a little natural sugar. To make syrup, we boil the sap and basically all we do is take the water out. As the water evaporates, the sugars get concentrated, and the sap thickens into golden maple syrup. It takes about 40 gallons of sap to make just 1 gallon of syrup!

What is SAP?

Sap is like the tree’s juice! In the spring, maple trees wake up and send sweet water from their roots up to the branches to help them grow. We gently collect some of that “tree juice” and then boil it down until it turns into delicious maple syrup.
