Great Things Happen During Spring Break
Northern Maine winters are a time for hot chocolate, open fires and staying cozy. Come spring, though, when the sun warms tree tops and blue skies unfold, we get outside and get inspired…
And that’s what happened one spring break back in the 1990’s. We’d had some time to think over the winter — time to hatch a plan. That spring, we quit our day jobs and started Spring Break Maple and Honey.
After all, we had a maple syrup family tradition to continue…
Our family had cared for the trees and land for multiple generations. In fact, our co-founder Kevin’s Great Uncle Ronald taught him the maple syrup trade — he handed down family secrets to Kevin for making the finest maple syrup.
And in 2001, we added our beehives. Over the years, our hives have grown with our business, and our wonderful bees continue to provide us with their rich, amber-colored honey.
Caring from the ground up
So, many seasons later, we continue to create maple syrup and honey products our customers love.
But there’s more to the story.
As Northern Maine farm stewards, we want to protect and preserve this beautiful region. That’s why we live on the land and care for the wooded areas and surrounding fields.
Actually, since we started Spring Break Maple and Honey, we’ve helped protect over 100 acres of forest land. And as our business grows, we hope to care for even more of the land.
Building a sweet community
We love making great maple syrup and honey products. But we also love to interact with our customers. We like to get out in the community and meet the people who love our products.
So, several times a year, we throw the doors open for special events, like our bean-hole beans get-togethers and Maine Maple Sunday celebrations.
And because we care about our customers, we create our maple and honey products without any artificial colorings, flavorings or preservatives.
Ultimately, it’s our goal to create the best-tasting, purest products possible for our community, our customers and their families.
Moving forward with the seasons
With every season change, there’s always something going on at Spring Break Maple and Honey. Whether it’s tapping the maple trees in the spring or harvesting our honey in the fall, we keep busy.
And that includes developing new products.
Our customers love our traditional maple and honey products. But they also like to get adventurous. That’s why we occasionally develop new and exciting recipes to grow our product line.
