Pure Pennsylvania maple syrup.

One gallon of syrup comes out.

Saturday, done right

Breakfast tastes like the woods it came from.

Pour it over pancakes, into coffee, across roasted squash. Real maple has layers a grocery-store bottle never had: butter, toffee, a little smoke. Once you taste the difference, the pantry shelf never looks the same.

From tap to bottle

Boiled the day it's gathered.

Sap only runs when nights freeze and days thaw. We get four to six weeks a year, and we don't waste one.

  1. A steel tap in the bark of a sugar maple with a single drop of clear sap at its tip

    01

    Tap

    Late winter, we tap 1,800 sugar maples across 60 acres of Pennsylvania ridgeline. Each tree gives a few gallons of clear sap, barely sweet.

  2. Blue sap lines running downhill through snowy maples toward a steaming sugarhouse

    02

    Gather

    Sap flows by gravity through food-grade lines to the sugarhouse. We never hold it overnight. Fresh sap makes cleaner syrup.

  3. A stainless steel evaporator pan at a rolling boil, steam rising in the firelight

    03

    Boil

    Wood-fired evaporator. Forty gallons of sap become one gallon of syrup at 219°F. We draw off by taste and thermometer, not by timer.

  4. Two hands holding a bottle of amber syrup up to a bright sugarhouse window

    04

    Bottle

    Filtered hot, bottled in glass the same day, graded by color and taste. One ingredient on the label, because that's all there is.

The sugarbush

One hillside. Every bottle.

Keystone is what Pennsylvania calls itself, and the farm sits on a Somerset County ridge where sugar maples have grown longer than anyone has kept records. We don't blend from other farms. What's in the bottle grew on this ground, in this weather, in one short season.

Single-origin isn't a marketing word here. It's the only way we know how to make it.

The harvest

Three grades. One ingredient.

Golden is the first run and the lightest. Amber is the classic. Dark is late season and the boldest. When in doubt, start with Amber.

Good questions

Before you order.

Which grade should I start with?

Amber Rich. It's the one most people picture when they think of maple. Go Golden for lighter, Dark for bolder.

Is it organic?

The sugarbush is never sprayed. The only inputs are sap, heat, and time. We are not certified organic.

How do I store it?

Unopened, in the pantry, for years. Opened, in the fridge, for up to a year. If it crystallizes, stand the bottle in warm water.

Will it survive shipping?

Glass bottles ride in molded pulp inside a double-walled box. If one still breaks, we replace it.

Do you sell wholesale?

Yes, to restaurants and shops, in cases of twelve. Email wholesale@keystonemaplefarms.com.

Can we visit?

During the boil, late February through March, on open-house weekends. Join the list for dates.

The sap report

Know when the sap runs.

One email when we tap, one when we boil, one when the new harvest ships. Nothing else.
