SOLD OUT! Birch Syrup, 4oz or 2oz, Beyond Organic
This birch syrup is pretty special. We collect the sap by hand using traditional buckets to explore the variety of foods and flavors available in a perennial forest ecosystem. All this year’s sap comes from yellow birch, in the rich, moist woods where older maples are living out their years.
The flavor is excellent: caramel-like and fruity. It is thinner than maple syrup due to its higher fructose content. We boil the sap in small batches to reach 65% sugar content. It takes about 7 gallons of sap to yield a half a pint of finished syrup! So this is a true labor of love.
All proceeds from this small-batch run support our duck sanctuary, where the rescue flock forages in the permaculture system. We’re committed to exploring synergies between sanctuary and farm.
New farm resident Alex Lampel set the buckets and gathered the sap, so your purchase also supports regenerative forest farming!
We’re still collecting and boiling, but the first batch is ready!
