100% Pure Maple Syrup
Pure maple syrup is made from the sap of
sugar maple trees, harvested in the late
winter and early spring. It takes
approximately 40 gallons of sap to make one
gallon of pure maple syrup. While the Native
Americans used to cook the sap by placing
hot rocks in birch bark kettles, at Hedmark's
Maple Ridge we use a 4 foot wide by 18 foot
long wood-fired evaporator to boil down the
sap. Using the plentiful firewood in our area
lessens our dependence on foreign energy
sources. If you haven't yet tasted the natural
sweetness direct from the maple tree, try
some real maple syrup made right here in
Wisconsin.
