About us
How we started
The farm originally was just a honey bee farm, Red River Honey and Bees. Back in 2023, my parents got the idea to produce maple syrup after surveying the property. It contained a lot of maple trees despite being mostly “hillside!”
We never tried fresh maple syrup before. No idea what to expect. Not very common in our area either. So we threw up some tubing lines in the fall of 2023, built a make-shift “evaporator” with cinder blocks and hotel pans, and boiled maple sap to syrup. It did not take long to realized we were hooked.
HOW ITS GOING
After that season, my husband (Joe) and I took over the maple syrup production. We are now blessed to have a little under 500 taps and have upgraded to actual maple syrup equipment. We are excited to be a maple syrup producer and distributor here in eastern KY!
WHAT WE ARE SELLING
We enjoy selling fresh maple syrup, along with maple cotton candy, currently at our farm and the Red River Gorge Farmers Market in Slade, KY on most Saturdays May – October.
Thanks for checking out Red River Maple Syrup!
