Northwoods Maple Farm – Our History
Northwoods Maple Farm – Our History
Harry and Ethel Tritten began sugaring in the 1950’s in a modest yet primitive approach with little but a passion for family and the outdoors. Through decades their passion for sugaring grew from using coffee cans for buckets and boiling with no shelter to Harry & Ethel constructing their own sugar house and flat pan evaporator along with passing the tradition to their grandson Anthony.
At a young age Anthony took to the woods collecting sap by hand developing character and work ethic mastering the craft of creating pure maple syrup.
Anthony and Rebecca Renken, fourth-generation sugar makers, founded Northwoods Maple Farm in 2015 on the very property Anthony’s grandparents started sugaring on over 60 years ago.
[blockquote text=”Today, we continue the legacy my grandparents started all those years ago sharing our traditions, time and work ethic educating the community about maple. We continue to be stewards of the land practicing sustainable timber management and tapping practices to ensure future generations the opportunity to enjoy our natural resources.” show_quote_icon=”yes” width=”100″ line_height=”30″ quote_icon_color=”#f49421″]
Four generations in sugaring and the passion for maple is stronger than ever. Settled in the Northwoods of Wisconsin our passion for maple was founded by my grandparents in the 1950’s and passed from generation to generation.
