We are a locally owned and operated maple sugar house located in the Boscawen, NH. The owner David Boudrias, has been producing maple syrup from this location since 1977. David acquired his passion for producing syrup using just a small roasting pan over an open flame. As the years passed, the technology had evolved, making the process much more streamlined from the days of 1977.
From the early start of the roasting pan, David now uses a state of the art oil fired evaporator, that can evaporate approximately 60 gallons of sap per hour. The amount of “taps” has also greatly increased, presently our sugar house hosts 500 taps, of which are most linked together through a system of plastic tubing, then carrying the sap to a collection tank.
The sugar house also had to change to become more accommodating; once a common shed now stands a 24’x24’ maple sugar house., complete with a commercial kitchen.
