Graham House Sugarbush [Our Products]

About Us
We have pure maple sugar and maple sugar candy for sale year round from our home. We can also ship it to you. We are now sold out of our bottled pure maple syrup for 2010. We’ll be back to the Co-op next March, Lord willing, when the sap runs again. Graham House Sugarbush is a family owned business in Lowell, Michigan. We, Ned and Heidi Stoller, along with our children, tap the trees in our 16-acre maple forest, collect and evaporate the sap to produce syrup, and filter and bottle the pure maple syrup in our certified kitchen. We also boil the syrup further to produce maple sugar candy and crystalline maple sugar.
Ingredients We Use
Crystal clear, pure maple sap.
Our Practices
Our evaporator is fueled with firewood from managing our maple woodlot.
Highlights
March is our busy season…the sap flows when the trees freeze at night (increasing the internal pressure of the trees) and then thaw during the day (external tree pressure drops while the internal tree pressure remains high), causing the sap to flow out of the tree. A maximum of 2 holes are drilled into each tree to collect the sap. The holes are 5/16 inch diameter and 2 1/2 inches deep. The sap looks just like clear water as it drips from the tree, but it has a slight sweet flavor.
Misc.
You are welcome to stop by and visit us if you see steam rising from the woods on the northeast corner of I-96 and Alden Nash (Lowell exit 52). See a map and pictures of our sugar shack at www.syrupandeggs.110mb.com
