No artificial flavors. No fake sugar. Just one simple ingredient: pure maple syrup.

If you haven’t tried swapping your coffee syrup for pure maple syrup, consider this your sign. 😉

Grandpa Tree and America
This year, the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary. In recently reflecting on this, I realized one of the trees in our sugarbush may have been around for this entire history. What follows is a bit of an imagination exercise in what this tree might have “seen.” To be honest, we don’t know how old the tree is, but being 250 years old is feasible.

We call this tree Grandpa Tree. It’s the largest tree remaining in our sugarbush. It had some counterparts of similar age and size that were damaged or blown over during windstorms over the past 40 years. My dad remembers tapping Grandpa Tree when he was a kid, remembering that it was a big tree then, 60+ years ago. So, let’s imagine the life of this tree, placing its birth at the same year as the birth of our country, 1776.

In the summer of 1776, a maple samara twirled down to the ground from its parent tree (itself maybe growing here for hundreds of years before this). That samara landed in a perfect place in the duff of the forest floor and soon sprouted, sending a root into the ground and a stem into the air. Soon that root intersected fungal hyphae and developed a relationship with that fungus that will help it survive throughout its life. For decades this seedling hung out on the forest floor, each spring sprouting a couple leaves to capture the meager sunlight available, but mostly it survived on sugar passed to it from the mature maples through the fungal hyphae. At some point, a larger tree in the canopy died, likely blown over in a storm or struck by lightning. This created the canopy gap the seedling needed to get sunlight, and it bolted skyward. It became a sapling and then a mature tree, continuing to grow through the years.
