Real Maple. Family Made. Since 2001.
We tap our own trees, work with the small family farms who taught us how, and turn all of it into products that make people smile.
Our Craft
We still tap our own trees in Connecticut and Vermont, just like we did back in 2001. The rest of our syrup comes from farmer-friends who slow boil it, traditionally, over an open flame, giving it that deep caramel color and bold, real maple taste. No shortcuts, no blending. Just good sap, hard work and patience.
"One taste of Maple Craft products will make you smile. But please do not take our word for it. Give it a try for yourself." -The Ackert Family
Why We Started
After tragedy struck our community in Sandy Hook, CT, we decided to spend our time differently. In 2014 we started Maple Craft Foods to help people build healthier connections with food, with nature, and with each other, while supporting the survivors and volunteers working to make our communities safer and sweeter. Our mission: Make Life Sweet. Naturally.
2001
Started tapping trees at family homes in Connecticut and Vermont.
2014
Founded Maple Craft Foods in the wake of the Sandy Hook School Shooting.
Today
Family-run, family-farm-sourced, and voted Best Syrup in Connecticut.
Support for Family Farms
We only source maple syrup from local family-owned farms, paying above-market prices to help ensure their long term viability and our access to the farmer's best maple syrup.
Support for Nonprofits & Volunteers
We package our products at a not-for-profit food processing center, run fundraising programs donating up to 40% of sales, and support survivor and gun-violence prevention organizations.
