The Single Source
Always organic and unblended, Mount Cabot Maple syrup is made exclusively from sap produced by our trees. Larger distributors buy syrup from a wide variety of sources, blend it all together, and label it as their own. We don’t. We make a finite amount of syrup each year, and every drop in the bottle comes from one single source: the rocky terroir of Mount Cabot. Like a top-shelf scotch, Mount Cabot Maple’s unique flavor has been long renowned for its exceptional taste and smooth finish. From the tapping of each tree, through the traditional wood-fired boil, to the bottling and shipping, our organic maple syrup comes straight from our woods to you.
After 160 years of sugarmakers leaving their mark, we now face a new set of challenges. New pests and a dangerously changing climate have left our trees vulnerable. As the next generation, we are committed to cultivating the health of the forest. This means dedicating resources to restoration and management work outside of the typical sugaring season, and working with the National Resource Conservation Service to develop a forestry management plan.
It also means finding new ways to grow and sustain our small queer & women run operation without relying on overextraction ourselves. An insatiable desire for more isn’t what drives us. We’re guided by love for this land. We aim to encourage resilience and vitality in the forest by becoming dedicated human stewards, and inviting others into relationship with the land. We hope to create new traditions and restore old ways of seeing the incredible interbeing of wild life among these trees.
