Producer

For four generations, the Patterson family has been producing maple syrup. Around one hundred years ago, Orin Patterson tapped his first trees. The tapping tradition was carried on by Clifton Patterson. They produced enough syrup for their own use and trading necessities. Their son, Richard took over the business replacing the buckets with tubing and all the modern day technologies offered. With the help of his sister, Mary Lee, they took the business to another level, shipping and selling worldwide and becoming the largest maple producer in the State of Pennsylvania today with over 84,000 taps!

Every Spring, we hire several loyal people for tapping and boiling. The sugarhouse is very busy from November to April. Several times a season, the sap flows faster than it boils, and we boil around the clock to catch up. The coffee pot never gets a break during sugaring season, nor the camaraderie of good friends.

Upon the death of Richard in 2017, his son Terry and his wife Terri, took over ownership as the fourth generation sugar makers in Sabinsville, Pennsylvania.

We take pride in producing the finest quality maple syrup, cream, candy, sugar, gift baskets, and much more, all for those who enjoy the pure taste of nature's premium sweetness.
