How it all Began

Ron Kay’s love for making maple syrup began way up in the White Mountains of Northern NH. He and his brother discovered a neighbor tapping a maple tree. Ron was intrigued and so he and his brother tapped their first trees and boiled the sap right in their backyard. Throughout the rest of his childhood, Ron continued with his favorite hobby of making maple syrup.

Fast forward to 1983 when he moved to his current residence in Maynard, MA. There, Ron took up where he’d left off and followed his passion of making maple syrup, tapping neighborhood trees, and boiling the sap right in his backyard. For many years Ron made maple syrup as a hobby and in 2007, he shifted careers and decided to pursue maple sugaring full time.

In 2010, he had his maple sugar house built and over time he developed his business into what it is now. He sells to over 14 country stores, farm stands, local restaurants, and customers throughout Maynard’s surrounding communities.

It is our mission to bring great-tasting, high-quality maple syrup to surrounding communities in Massachusetts and New England. We provide the freshest packaged and bottled maple products, with great attention to details and cleanliness.
