Here's how we gather sap.

Ye olde "SAP SHACK"

Profile:
Brothers Bob and Roger Vandebunte are committed to producing only the highest quality maple products utilizing modern tecniques and good old fashion values . Vandebunte Maple taps two remote bushes in about a 5 mile radius. Sap is trucked into the "sap shack" where it is processed and sold. Our greatest customers are our friends and our family members. Anyone who wanders into the sap shack will find a valued friend.
