Maple Tree Lease

A gift of a Sugar Maple Lease will delight your recipients all year long!

• First comes the handsome, personalized lease document, a reproduction of an 1890 U.S. Treasury "License for Sugar Producer," printed on parchment and embossed with a gold seal.
• Then, three lively newsletters will keep lessees updated on the activities of the sugaring crew as it works its way from tree to tree to sugarhouse (on snowshoes as the season begins, a mite less gracefully during "mud season") - tapping trees, hanging buckets, gathering the clear, cold sap for boiling down.
• Transforming raw sap to syrup takes dedication, snowy walks, muscle, fire and patience. It's a slow process to boil down 40 plus gallons of sap into one gallon of pure wood-fired syrup (talk about reducing a sauce!).
• We do all the work and you get all the raves (while helping support America's family farms).

The sights and sounds of a north country sugar bush in Spring are unforgettable!

• Your friends will almost be able to smell the smoke of the wood-fired arch beneath the boiling pans and the sweet scent of the steam rising from the sugarhouse.
• The activity around the sugarhouse reminds us of the communal nature of sap-gathering and the self-sufficiency that maple syrup production represented.
• Our delicious 100% natural maple syrup is made the old fashioned way, exceeding USDA requirements.
• Delivered in decorated jugs at season's end in late April or early May.

The Lease program includes:

• A beautifully designed & personalized (parchment-look) lease document that is sent to your recipient.
• An announcement folder (inscribed with your gift message) that describes the many benefits of your gift.
• Entertaining & informative progress reports (& an optional photo) to keep them up-to-date on the harvest as it is nurtured.
• Upon completion of the harvest, the maple syrup is delivered to their door.
• Satisfaction & bountiful yields are guaranteed.
