Maple from the Heart of New England
Our maple sugaring farm and facility have been located in the heart of New England since 1853. Bascom Maple Farms believes in a healthy and sustainable independent maple sugaring industry, so we work diligently to support it and our community. That’s why we’re also the largest U.S. distributor of maple syrup equipment to maple farmers (sugar makers).
A Time-Tested Process
Sap — a clear, slightly sweet liquid containing about 1-3% sugar — is gathered from sugar maples, then boiled in an evaporator. As the water in the sap evaporates, the sap thickens and the sugar caramelizes, the liquid becomes sweeter and more concentrated, turns a rich golden color, and reaches 219°F/103.8°C (66.5 brix), when it becomes maple syrup. On average, it will take about 40 gallons of sap to produce one gallon of maple syrup.
Once the sap has been boiled into maple syrup, it is hot packed in barrels and sealed. It is then stored in our cooler until our customers need it.
